A cat owner gave their cat cosmetic surgery to enhance its beauty, Chinese media outlets reported on Feb. 27. However, on March 1, a veterinary surgeon said on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, that the story was nonsense.
State media claimed that a woman in Nanjing, historically Nanking, paid $1,500 USD to give her cat’s eyes cosmetic surgery to make them larger and more attractive. The cosmetic surgery, known as “double eyelids” is becoming more popular among east Asian nations.
