If you scroll through the Instagram of actress Lupita Nyong’o it’s clear she’s a very proud cat mom, with her rescue kitty Yoyo making frequent appearances. But if you don’t follow her, you probably wouldn’t guess she had a fear of cats up until she adopted Yoyo last year.
Lupita posted a year-end recap of her life, but she made an entirely separate video just for her kitty’s highlights of the year.
And she of course documented her feline adventures on her Instagram, including this sunny December hike in Los Angeles.
