A Malaysian millionaire has thrown a lavish birthday party for her pet cat at a Louis Vuitton store to the envy of many humans and fellow felines.
Haliza Maysuri, the owner of a hijab fashion business, posted several clips on Instagram of herself with family and friends celebrating the 7th birthday of her cat, Money.
The event took place at a Louis Vuitton boutique in Kuala Lumpur, where Money was dressed in a custom-made long sparkling gown.
The feline’s many birthday gifts included a Louis Vuitton collar that cost US$630, a portrait in which she was wearing a red frilly tutu, mounted on to an LV leather backdrop, and a specially baked cat cake served by store staff.
Many online observers jokingly expressed envy on behalf of their cats.
“My cat sent me this,” one person said on TikTok.

“This cat is having a better life than me,” said another.
While another person chimed in: “This cat has got a better birthday than all my birthdays combined.”
It is not the first time Maysuri has made headlines for spending lavishly on her pampered Persian puss.
For Money’s fourth birthday, she was given a gold pendant worth US$5,700.
Last year, Maysuri posted a video showing her presenting Money with a BMW i7 sedan, worth US$150,000.
In the video, Money was showered with attention while sitting on the bonnet of her gift, looking somewhat baffled.
Unlike her seventh birthday party, the car present did not receive a positive reaction from online observers.
“Cheap and arrogant,” said one person.
Maysuri later confessed that the car was in fact her husband’s gift for her 45th birthday, and she created the public relations stunt with Money to “promote her hijab brand”.
Maysuri has been running her fashion business for 25 years and some of her hijabs are priced at US$900.
She said she spotted people’s need for stylish cat antics and works so hard to appeal to people on social media that she has “even lost sleep” over it.
Money is not the world’s only spoiled cat that lives a better life than some humans.

In 2009, YouTube user @CrazyMrJohn made a special lift just for his cat – which is also operated by the feline – to ensure it has a “more comfortable way to get into the garden”.
The Guinness World Record of the world’s wealthiest cat is held until today by a black four-legged fellow aptly called Blackie.
When owner Ben Rea, an antique dealer in the UK, died in 1988, he left £7 million (US$9 million) to Blackie, who was the last of 15 cats who had lived with him in his mansion.
Rea divided the money between three cat charities and instructed them to look after his pet cat. He did not leave anything to his family in his will.
