Nokia’s Tweet, feature a cat touching one of its Lumia phones, stated: “We aren’t cat proof either” and includes apps for Angry Birds and other feline related mobile content on the home screen of the phone.

The tweet, sent this afternoon, has been sent days after The Drum revealed that Nokia UK’s tweet thanking Apple for imitating it with its new iPhone 5s release during the launch event revealing the phone in several bright colours, has become one of the most retweeted messages ever.
