‘Naughty but adorable’ pet goat in China that eats everything - screws, nails and clothes - becomes internet sensation
- A pet goat called Kaochuan has become an online hit due to his playful nature and desire to eat almost anything
- In a viral video, Kaochuan is shown happily accompanying his owner, no matter where he goes or what he does, and generally causing trouble
A playful goat kept by a family in China as a pet and allowed to enjoy a free lifestyle has become a minor celebrity on mainland social media.
The goat’s owner, surnamed Huang, from Shaanxi province in northwestern China, allows the 25kg animal, named Kaochuan, free rein of his home. Unlike most goats which tend to be docile, Kaochuan is a risk taker and likes to try and eat and play with everything he sees, Songshu Video reported.
In a viral video, Kaochuan is seen happily accompanying his owner, no matter where Huang goes or what he is doing.
In the clip, Huang is seen trying to weave a straw basket in his courtyard at home while Kaochuan jumps and runs around then bumps against Huang a few times. Huang tries to calm him down by kicking him away playfully, but Kaochuan does not give up.
When this did not work, Huang stood up and tied Kaochuan to a wooden chair. When he restarted his weaving work, Kaochuan put out his tongue and started to lick Huang’s elbow.
Kaochuan also showed a hungry curiosity about everything around him in the scene including a hammer, screws, nails and even a cat, attempting to taste and play with each in turn.
“Do you want to eat a screw too?” Huang asked Kaochuan.
