"Happy Birthday Boots!"
Dublin Core
Title
Description
This artifact is an unknown Instagram user's post celebrating her cat's birthday.
The submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history:
The owner posted a picture of her with her cat in a birthday hat in celebration of the cat’s 12th birthday.
This festive occasion shows the birthday celebration for her old cat, and the comments and caption help show both age and the community of friends around the cat (those who were there when the cat was born/adopted). The party hat in the image helps to show the occasion, and the hearts all over it show the love that the owner has for the cat. The emojiis in the comments also help show the enthusiasm and love friends of the owner have for the cat, and many directly address the cat instead of the owner in their well-wishes. The owner doesn’t use hashtags on this post, but clearly there is already a good following based off the number of likes and comments on this post.
