The life recorded in his video has the magical power of healing to most netizens. Some of them said that the videos of “Ermaozi Duoduo”reminded them of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. The 28-year-old blogger is called Jie, who lives in Fuling, Chongqing.

While most cats prefer to sleep at home, Jie’s cat often follows him and sits together with him to watch the sunset. “How do you raise such an intelligent cat?”

Jie answers, “It’s fate.”

“Duoduo (Jie’s cat) appealed to me when I was in a manicure store. At first glance, I knew it would be my cat.” The owner of the manicure store had no time to take care of all of the four cats he raised, so he decided to sell them or give them away. Duoduo, a British shorthair cat, is one of the four cats.

Duoduo was sold for 8,000 yuan. I failed to start a business at that time, so I don’t have enough money to buy it, said Jie. Since then, he had visited the store to play with Duoduo every day for nearly one month. The owner finally relented and sold Duoduo at a cheaper price.

Duoduo has been fond of going out since he was young. Going into the hills with Jie is the happiest moment for Duoduo. “Duoduo loves to play on the fields, have fun with my grandma, and run with the wild cats in the mountains.”

Speaking of the reasons for making videos, Jie said that he made a video of himself and Duoduo getting oxygen supplied during the trip to western Sichuan, which unexpectedly received likes from 250,000 netizens. Since then, he has produced more and more videos of himself and Duoduo and got an increasing number of followers, becoming a pet video blogger.

Jie’s videos show that Duoduo is a smart cat who sits on a swing, rides on a bicycle, and steals watermelons from the fields with its owner. Many netizens wonder why the cat is so cooperative.

“It seems Duoduo is actively cooperating with me, but in fact, I’m cooperating with it,” said Jie. Every day, he goes into the hills with Duoduo and gives it some snacks to make it happy. When Duoduo is in a good mood, he will make some videos of it.

Jie grew up in the countryside with his grandparents, so most of his videos aim to reproduce childhood scenes, such as stealing sweet potatoes, breaking corn, grilling fish, and hiding behind garbage cans. "Most of the time the effect of the videos was not what I had expected at the beginning, but we would not force Duoduo to help me re-make videos. Instead, we will discuss how to innovate the videos.”

Jie’s videos are likened to Hayao Miyazaki's movies, which are heart-warming and healing. The account “Ermaozi Duoduo” is operated by Jie, his cousin, and his friends, and all the videos released are made and edited through cell phones.

Jie said that many institutes and companies wanted to cooperate with them, but we thought the current state would be the best for them. They want to be free and shoot whenever they want to. “I want to share with netizens my tranquil, free, and happy life through these videos.”

Jie’s grandma has been living in the mountains all her life, and Jie wishes to travel with his grandma and Duoduo someday... (Translated by Yuki, Fathom Language Limited)
