The death of a celebrity pedigree kitten in China has sparked widespread debate about veterinary accountability, animal welfare standards and the legal protection available to pet owners in the country’s rapidly growing pet industry.
Social media-famous cat at centre of controversy
Kuankuan, a blue-golden-shaded British Longhair kitten admired by millions online, was known for her delicate features and golden coat. Fans affectionately referred to her as “the Liu Yifei of the cat world” because of her elegant appearance and expressive eyes.
