\n\tXzibit\u2019s<\/a> Instagram comments were flooded by cat-loving fans across the globe who wanted to know how he was able to keep Thunder Cat alive for more than 20 years, and the West Coast rapper posted a follow-up video explaining his tactics on Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had no idea you guys liked cats that much, but Thunder Cat has been in my life for a long time. She\u2019s seen it all,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody\u2019s asking how I kept her alive for, you know, this long. Well, first of all, I love my cat. I take care of her and I look out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe former Pimp My Ride host revealed that Thunder Cat has a dry food diet for the most part, but gets a junk food treat when Thunder\u2019s on his best behavior. <\/p>\n

\n\tXzibit credited doctors for getting her on an IV fluid regimen to treat her previous kidney and thyroid medical issues.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPeople have loved my cat as much as I have for a long time, so people send me sh\u2013 all the time associated with my cat,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe fact that this is going crazy is beyond me. But this is the kind of sh\u2013 I get.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFans have sent him gifts over the years, ranging from a sweater that he\u2019s worn with Thunder Cat\u2019s face emblazoned across the garment as well as various paintings and portraits. \u201cPeople love Thunder Cat. I love Thunder Cat,\u201d X added. \u201cI\u2019m glad you guys like her as much as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feline has been getting so much love that X decided to make Thunder Cat his own Instagram account, which now boasts more than 25,000 followers.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the music side, Xzibit\u2019s last album came with Kingmaker last year. In May, he joined forces with D-12 <\/a>and Ice-T<\/a> for the band\u2019s \u201cNightmare Walking\u201d single.<\/p>\n
