Xing Zhilei has become popular online. He made a small but working subway just for his Maine Coon cats. It took him four months to complete. He shared a video of it on August 17th, and it received over one hundred million views in just two days.
This isn’t a simple model train. It looks like a real subway, with doors, a working escalator, tunnels, and tracks. There are also bright signs and voice announcements such as, “Welcome to Cattown Station.”
Xing said he almost gave up when he had trouble making the escalator and doors work. But he kept trying and solved each problem step by step. His hard work paid off.
The subway is part of his “Cat Town” project. He has been working on it for two years. So far, Cat Town includes a tiny supermarket, spa, cinema, garage, and even a bank. His cats can also drive around in mini cars.
Xing also helps homeless cats. Last year, he built 100 small warm shelters for them in just 48 hours. Many people love his subway video. Xing plans to add more buildings to Cat Town. His cats are truly living a wonderful life!
