Owner Leaves for New Year, Orange Cat Stays Behind – Passerby Shocked to See "Entire Store Demolished": A Concubine Gone Mad in the Forbidden Palace?

Social media is buzzing over the reaction of an orange cat left to its own devices during its owner's Lunar New Year vacation. According to online commentators, the feline appeared outwardly composed, but its inner turmoil was evident.

With many pet cats unaccustomed to venturing outdoors, they often find themselves home alone when their owners take trips. Recently, as the Spring Festival holiday concluded, numerous cat owners began sharing how their furry companions responded to their extended absence. One user from Guangdong Province, China, captured the amusing situation of an orange cat seemingly in a state of mental distress after being left alone in a shop.

A passerby noticed the forlorn cat behind the glass door of a closed business, looking like it was "alone in an empty room." The scene was telling: torn tissues littered the floor. The cat, though seemingly dazed, had clearly engaged in some "redecorating" while awaiting its owner's return. It's easy to imagine the boredom and anticipation of the solitary kitty.

Comments flooded in from amused netizens: "Cat: I'm so calm, I'm going crazy," "Meow: Let me see what else I can destroy," "Cat: If you don't come back, I'll wreck your store," "It looks like its eyes are dull," and "Like a concubine who's gone mad in the cold palace."

Fortunately, the cat's owner had provided plenty of food, water, and extra litter boxes. They have since returned from their holiday to care for their beloved pet, so there's no need for concern.
