A kangaroo once belonged to the King of Rock \u2018n Roll \u00a0(that\u2019s Elvis, for those of you who are out of touch with EVERYTHING that is American), Michael Jackson was adventurous enough to own a chimp named Bubbles (chimps are notoriously vicious \u2013seriously, you might lose your eyes!), and Melanie Griffith raised African lions, for crying out loud!<br \/>\nIn those days, word of mouth was enough to get attention from fans, but in this internet-driven world, celebrity pet ownership is on a whole new rampage of online postings. We shouldn\u2019t be surprised that famous rock stars, actors and political figures are enamored with their pets enough to bring them into the spotlight. But by the amount of Instagram followers and \u201clikes\u201d some of these pets have,\u00a0 it\u2019s clear domestic pets of the \u201cbeautiful people\u201d are finally getting their (more than) 15 minutes of fame.<\/p>\n<h2>Famous Pets<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson &#8211; Taylor Swift<\/strong><br \/>\nThese pampered kitties have their own embroidered tote bags for when their world-famous mom travels. As if uninterrupted face-time with Taylor wasn\u2019t enough, these little babies have hundreds of thousands of likes on their many Instagram pictures.
