Jin Daily Trivia: From Paw to Pawn — RMB500 Cat Deal Shocks China 🐾💸

Recently on Alibaba Taobao’s judicial sales (yep, Taobao has all kinds of weird stuff), a sad-looking cat was listed for auction.

Turns out, the original owner was declared bankrupt, and the poor cat was considered part of his assets. It’s been stuck at a pet hotel for over two years. Since the hotel isn’t the legal owner, they can’t keep the cat — so now it’s up for auction with a starting bid of just RMB500.

Believe it or not, nearly 4,000 people have already paid the deposit to bid on this “pawned” cat. The pet hotel has since gone viral, with people flocking to see the famous 500 RMB kitty.

Hope you learned something new today — see ya!!
