Pet influencer’s big cat shares living space with wildcats, a jaguar and a mountain dog, animals loved by millions online
A pet influencer from China has gone viral for raising a Bengal tiger worth more than one million yuan (US$140,000) and attracting over 4 million followers on mainland social media.
Gong is a young Chinese woman living in Ukraine with her boyfriend. They share a suburban villa with a white tiger, two serval wildcats, a black jaguar, and a Bernese Mountain Dog.
The couple have a 2,000-square-metre garden and a pool for the animals to enjoy.
In her videos, Gong says that because of the value of the big cat, they have named it “Million Gong”.
She even paid an extra US$9,000 to skip the queue to buy it. Local officials regularly check the animals’ papers and living conditions.
Gong said her boyfriend studied in Ukraine and bought property while living there. He also runs a rental business.
The couple now work full-time as content creators so they can spend more time with their animals.
