Wukong was a stray cat who was adopted by Zhao Shuo, a cyclist traveler, and traveled with his owner in Xinjiang, becoming an internet celebrity cat with many fans.
In April this year, Wukong was found dead near Milan Town in Xinjiang.
Many fans were very sad when they heard the news and were also dissatisfied with the official explanation.
At first, there were news reports saying Wukong was hit and killed by a car, but Zhao Shuo denied this in a video. He said he did not know the exact cause of Wukong's death and found that the cat's body had no fractures or external injuries. The veterinarian thought it might be poisoning.
Many netizens found it strange that the surveillance cameras were broken because there were many cameras there.
People started looking for clues online to find out how Wukong really died.
Wukong's case made more people pay attention to animal protection issues.
China currently does not have laws protecting domestic animals, and many people hope for laws against animal abuse.
Later, Zhao Shuo posted another video saying Wukong might have died from poisoning after eating a mouse and apologized for not taking good care of the cat.
But many people did not believe this explanation and felt that the cause of Wukong's death was still a mystery.
Wukong's story made people more concerned about animal safety and rights.
