Friend showing off my pets on social media

Hi guys,

So when the lockdown was implemented here, I happened to be visiting my parents while my pets were away in another city at my flat with someone coming over to take care of them. But soon new people were not allowed in our housing society,which would leave the cats on their own (my flatmates don't involve much in this so they were not an option to consider). Now a trio of my colleague/friends (2 guys and one's girlfriend) offered to take in the cats. The guys were too good and took the cats in their own home (never fostered cats or animals) and it was really great and sweet of them.

The girl started posting cats' pics on Instagram and Facebook which was perfectly fine. Slowly, the post started coming off as showboating and for some reason did not feature the other guys (which I also have a problem with cz it diminishes their contribution in taking care of my pets). Now she's putting up placeholders, vidoes and fancy hashtags for the cat like she is a parent. Even I don't do cz pets are my family, not a source of social media clout. It's been over a month and I see this lockdown extending till June.

I can't deal with her doing this everyday. It is causing me stress slowly and my indignance is building up too much. What do I do? How do I ask her to stop without starting a fight? (Cz I don't want to piss her bf off who is a good person)

Tldr: 3 friends take in my cats during lockdown, one girl starts posing as a fake mommy kinda on social media, I'm not comfortable, How do I put it across?

TIA
