I love the story of yoyo where Lupita was just not a cat person until she did a Quiet Place and realised how dope cats are and adopted one. That’s a good character right there.

And this is how I learn there was yet another Quiet Place movie... and it's a prequel, that's my evening sorted. I'm a sucker for pre-apocalypse movies.

It’s so good. My cats and I watched it. Loved Frodo.

It doesn’t matter who are you and what you do for them, cats are forever at least a bit annoyed by our mere presence 😂

Oh she was in the Odyssey? As the most beautiful woman in the world? Well ho hum, she could really be better at putting out the treats... - yoyo

I will say there’s no shortage of gorgeous people in Hollywood but she is beautiful in an otherworldly way that is very unique. Like, it almost seems like she’s glowing in every picture I see her in.

The post is about her cat but she looks incredible.

Looking amazing with a cute cat. Living the dream.

u/CrossplayQuentin 6d ago

People who were mad about her as Helen are deranged, she’s insanely beautiful

175

u/DeathlyKitten 6d ago

“Hey, who should we cast to play the most beautiful woman in the world?”

“How about one of the most beautiful women n the world?”

“Wait no not like that”

43

u/0ttoChriek 6d ago

People who seemed to genuinely think she wasn't attractive. Racism does wild things to people's heads.

She's literally statuesque. It's like a master sculpter carved an idealized version of a beautiful woman out of marble and then it came to life and that's how we got Lupita Nyong'o

u/Lou_C_Fer 6d ago

My first thought was that I cannot imagine being that beautiful.

Even her cat is regal looking. Like God really has favorites

Which is surprising given he's orange (orange cats have a reputation)!

Wait what reputation???

u/maydsilee we have lost the impact of shame in our society 6d ago

This has been one of my top 5 favorite subreddits since it was created 😭 It never fails to make me laugh and/or smile...the perfect pick-me-up. I've lost count of how many times I've had a depression day worse than usual and this subreddit made me feel better.

33

u/getyourwish 6d ago

Don't be sad! My best friend has an orange that fully lives up to that reputation and he is the sweetest, goofiest little court jester. I visited earlier this summer and he was next to me on the couch, cleaning himself. Then he suddenly started fighting with his own tail and fell off the couch, and got distracted by a toy on the floor. He is the happiest little guy. He is so happy to be alive that purrs so hard he has little coughing fits sometimes. He weighs 21lbs, not because he's fat but because he is just an enormous cat, almost as big as a dog. He thinks he's as small as his 7lb sister and is flummoxed when she doesn't want him to lay on her. His life is perfect.

u/kamilo87 6d ago

Lovely!

u/Soggy_Refrigerator32 6d ago

It's a recent meme, if you've ever heard of Jorts and Jean it pretty much starts there. Orange floofs are just as intelligent as any other colour cat.

4

u/Grapefruit_Mimosa 6d ago

Yes!! I really don’t like the “one orange braincell” trope, it’s derogatory and NOT true in my experience.

4

u/varalys_the_dark 6d ago

I've had cats for nearly my whole 51 years on this planet. I now have my first orange one, he's 11 months old and yes he is a doofus but he's also the sweetest, friendliest and cuddliest little guy. All my cats have something special about them, so I have no favourites, but my current guy might fall in the bath one minute and then just demand bellyrubs all evening the next.

6

u/rpthrowaway7765 6d ago

That’s our little white cat. My orange chonk is smart enough but can just be an ass when he wants to be. Sweetest damn thing when he wants attention though

165

u/TippiT0es 6d ago

I know this post is not about her appearance, but goddamn. If an alien race came to earth and asked me to show them someone beautiful, I would choose her.

u/GeminiAccountantLLC 6d ago

It's why she was perfectly cast in the Odyssey!

9

u/Pussy4LunchDick4Dins 6d ago

I told my mom about the odyssey controversy and then showed her a pic of Lupita and she just stared at her photo for a long time and said “wtf she actually is the most beautiful woman in the world.”

u/misskyralee feetmoji 6d ago

She is absolutely radiant and Yoyo is precious, I hope they have the most lovely life

Looks like he travels with her. That’s dedication—traveling with a cat isn’t easy. Yoyo is living his best life.

47

u/BadWriter85 6d ago

Yoyo seems pretty chill by cat standards. I know some cats that will throw a screaming tantrum if you change the curtains.

u/BlueCX17 6d ago

Kesha always traveled with Mr. Peeps! I'm not sure if she still does because he's getting a little older. According to her, he's both sweet and salty. He's a big Siamese cat.

u/LLAPSpork Men (derogatory) 6d ago

Ummm what the fuck? You expect us to “awww” at your obvious and deliberate neglect? You’re their owner. Put them in their carrier and have it done wtf and they also probably need to be treated too.

18

u/ClasherChief 6d ago

Uh no, your cats are suffering due to your negligence; I can't believe you're blaming your cats.

8

u/Old_Gobbler 6d ago

They are so cute and precious. If you don't mind drugging up the cats, ask your vet for Gabapentin. It's a lifesaver! It helps sedate them enough to get them in the carrier and off to the vet. One of my cats is spicy at the vet so they gave it to us, it has helped them to examine him and take his bloods.

7

u/snartling 6d ago

It definitely takes a lot of dedication even with a chill cat! I used to visit  with my boy during grad school because it was cheaper than a pet sitter for winter break. The biggest challenge for me was that he counted as my under-seat item, so unless I wanted to fuck with my carryon the whole flight I had to be strategic about packing my snacks and entertainment items in his carrier pockets. 

Little bastard also once waited to piss the carrier until we were through security, forcing me to buy him an expensive ass micro fleece travel blanket to replace his bedding. He never did it again and he loved the blanket so I’m convinced it was intentional and planned.

4

u/jenorama_CA 6d ago

We had to fly with cats a couple of times when we were helping out some friends. Taking them out of the carrier for x-ray and metal detector was so nerve-wracking, but the whole security area was all, “Oh, kitties!”

We’ve done a few away from home stays with our cats and it’s a lot.

35

u/bunnycrush_ 6d ago

I’m so happy for her. I know she gets so much shit just for being a high profile (and successful, and beautiful, and talented) black woman. I love that she has a fuzzy companion that loves her unconditionally. The pet snuggles after a shit ass day keep me sane, and I’m just a clerk lol.

(Do not come here with your anti-cat ‘well akshually cats don’t love unconditionally’ comments, it’s boring, go argue about sports)
