The cat mama runs the Instagram account from the perspectives of Monk & Bean, which makes for some pretty fun captions.

"Their account use to be mine but I deleted all my material and changed the username and began using it to satisfy my crazy cat lady needs," Rienzie explained. "Monk & Bean are my 'children' so I want to show them off to the world...like any parent would. Haha."
