The video was posted on Doyuin last Thursday by a Chinese woman going by the nametag Simpson Xin, and it soon garnered 2 million views.
The woman went back to see Moggie, a cat that is believed to be a stray, but she was unable to bring the animal home because she already had a pet.
With its distinctive facial features, this stray cat from China appears so upset that it became viral on social media.
A university student who had seen the cat in Shanghai’s streets recorded it and posted it on the Chinese social media site Douyin, which is similar to TikTok.
People adored the unusual-looking cat, which gave off the impression of being sad all the time thanks to the dark spots above its eyes.
The woman returns frequently to see how the cat is doing and to bring it some food. However, the woman said on her Douyin account that she already has a pet and would not be bringing one home.
