This Dude Loves His Cats So Much, He Built And Insanely Amazing Town For Them

If you thought your New Year’s plans were ambitious, wait until you see what Xing Zhilei built for his cats.
A viral video from the Chinese creator is taking over the internet after he shared the latest expansion of his DIY miniature world known as “Cat Town,” a fully imagined city designed entirely for his pets. The setup includes a functional subway system, a school, and a supermarket, all scaled perfectly for tiny paws.
What started as a small passion project in 2025 has quietly turned into a massive online phenomenon, pulling in more than 100 million views across multiple platforms as viewers keep coming back to see what gets added next.
The newest 2.5 minute video, released during Chinese New Year preparations, plays out like a cozy short film. Framed as a whimsical day in the life, the clip follows the cats as they explore Cat Town, ride the subway, wander through buildings, and move through holiday scenes like seasoned city residents.
The craftsmanship is what really hooks people. Every building is handmade, every detail carefully thought out, and the transit system actually works. It feels equal parts architectural model, dollhouse, and internet comfort content.
Viewers quickly latched onto one especially memorable detail. A chinchilla appears as a supermarket cashier, calmly stationed behind the counter and somehow stealing the entire scene. The subtle anthropomorphism gives each animal a role without overdoing it, which only makes the whole thing funnier.
Comment sections are full of people joking that Cat Town has better public transportation than their real city, while others are asking for a full tour, future expansions, or even a spinoff series. Some viewers admit they’ve watched the video multiple times just to catch new details.
At this point, Cat Town feels less like a pet project and more like a miniature cinematic universe. And honestly, if tickets went on sale for that tiny subway, the internet would probably line up immediately.
