Recently, a social media user shared an amusing experience while hiking in the snow on Mount Emei. Despite having heard tales of wild monkeys snatching bags from hikers, they were taken by surprise when a large stray cat decided to make off with a backpack belonging to a passerby.
The incident involved a hefty orange cat that was seen lounging atop the backpack, refusing to let it go. This scene led many online observers to comment in disbelief, noting, "I can't believe even cats are stealing bags now!"
A user named "Xiao Yu" recounted their visit to Mount Emei to enjoy the winter scenery. Although they were aware of the monkeys notorious for stealing belongings or food from visitors, they did not anticipate encountering an "extra-large orange" cat that would intercept tourists' bags along the way. The sight of this chubby feline claiming its prize was so bold that it prompted laughter and jokes among netizens, who remarked, "I never thought even stray cats would steal bags now."
This humorous photo quickly gained traction online, attracting thousands of views. Comments flooded in with reactions like, "These days, even stray cats are learning from monkeys," and "I've only heard of monkeys stealing bags and food; this is the first time I've seen a stray cat do it." Others noted the cat's healthy appearance, stating, "This fat orange seems well-fed and doesn't look like a typical stray," while some humorously suggested it might be a unique species exclusive to Mount Emei dubbed the "Big Tiger."
