1. Spaniards are not people of color in America I don’t know who told you that.

I would have LOVED (and probably died) if you had shared about seeing all the #EggsBFF and catmina project items that’s were there! My kitties are part of the cats of Instagram community (@moofabulousss) and most of their “friends” humans went, full on wearing their kitty leggings an tshirts and tote bags.

Here is my big dude:

I feel bad you’re cat less, Mark. They’re awesome but also assholes. Here are mine.
