Kenyan Mexican actress Lupita Amondi Nyong'o recently celebrated her beloved cat Yoyo on his third birthday.

On Instagram, Lupita shared a series of heartwarming photos of the event.

Yoyo wore a special blue birthday hat as he posed with his famous owner. Nyong'o also spoiled her feline companion with a selection of crinkle toys, ensuring the day was fun and exciting.

"Go Yoyo! It’s yo birthday! ??? Please join me in wishing him a very happy 3rd birthday! ? #Yoyoyyo #ChildlessCatLady," she wrote.

Lupita adopted Yoyo from from the Best Friends Adoption Center last year. She shared that before her role in the film, ' a quiet place: Day one' she was afraid of cats.

When she was forced to share the screen with a feline costar in the horror-thriller and grew to appreciate cats through the project.

"Introducing my new companion, Yoyo!I have historically been afraid of cats, but when my life was altered instantly recently, a little voice whispered to me that it was time to embrace change and new possibilities. So, a dear friend (shoutout Palmer Hefferan!) held my hand through the process and took me to visit my first animal shelters. I fostered Yoyo from Best Friends Adoption Center, and 3 days into it, I knew I could not give him up."

Lupita's love for Yoyo has been evident for some time, with the star often sharing glimpses of their bond on social media. 

Happy 3rd birthday Yoyo.
