However, thanks to the efforts of a group of cat-loving volunteers and netizens, it has become a tourist attraction full of cats. It was even selected by CNN as one of the top six cat-watching attractions in the world👍🏻 In Houtong Cat Village, you can see cats of various colors, breeds, and postures living freely in the village. Some cats will actively act coquettishly and ask for petting, while others will just sleep quietly or lick their fur. They are all very clean and not afraid of people, making them the best models for the camera.
