A peculiar incident has gone viral on Chinese social media, where a stray cat accidentally wandered into an abandoned office of a bankrupt company and was subsequently treated as a foreclosed asset. The cat was photographed and listed on a popular auction site, JD.com, with a price tag of 200 RMB. To everyone's surprise, the cat was actually purchased by someone, leaving many netizens bewildered and questioning whether this was a good or bad thing.
The story began when a user named "Bili Bu" on the social media platform Xiaohongshu stumbled upon the unusual listing while browsing the auction site. The cat, which had apparently wandered into the abandoned office, was included in the assets being sold off by the government. The listing sparked a mix of amusement and concern among netizens, with some commenting, "This is better than abandonment," and others joking about who provided the cat's food during the auction period.
The incident highlights the complexities of stray animal management in China, where there are over 50 million stray cats. While some see the sale as a preferable alternative to abandonment, others worry about the cat's fate and whether it has found a good home.
