The wish of the 82-year-old, surnamed Long, from southern China’s Guangdong province has sparked a heated discussion on mainland social media.
Long is still searching for someone to look after his pet, Xianba, after he dies.
Mainland media outlets report that Long has no children and lived alone after his wife died a decade ago. He adopted four stray cats on a rainy day: Xianba and her three kittens.
Only Xianba remains with him, prompting Long to begin looking for carers in case he dies before her.

According to Guangdong Radio and Television, Long said he was willing to give all his inheritance, including his flat and savings, to anyone who is willing to “take good care” of his cat.
