Human, Come Pet This Kitty!

Tang Miao, a delivery rider who died of sudden exhaustion in her rented room, was reborn in a cardboard box as a scrawny orange kitten. With no system and no “golden finger” cheats, she was just a stray cat who could be taken away by urban management at any moment. However, she decided to use her nine lives to travel through every city she never had the chance to visit in her previous life. She sought shelter from the rain in the air-raid shelters of Chongqing, sneaked pieces of beef tripe in the back alleys of hotpot restaurants in Chengdu, and climbed to the top floor of Wenheyou in Changsha to watch the fireworks. She padded across the tin roofs of Shanghai’s alleys and watched the sunset over the Forbidden City from the tops of Beijing’s hutong walls. What she didn’t know was that photos taken by kind-hearted passersby were being linked together by netizens, who realized they all featured the same cat. The topic “An Orange Cat’s Map of China” hit number one on the trending searches. The entire internet was asking: Where is this orange cat going next?
