To honor his resilience and charitable spirit, we’re highlighting his impact on the cat community. Known for his sorrowful expression, Luhu has not only captured hearts but also aided other felines in need. His mom, Maggie Liu, expressed gratitude for the support Luhu has received, mentioning his sold-out 2024 calendar in China. The proceeds have provided food for stray cats and funded surgeries for two cats. Luhu truly is an angel for his fellow felines.

Bored Panda recently spoke with Maggie, the owner of Luhu, who shared more about her beloved cat. Despite facing health challenges and multiple surgeries, Maggie never gave up on Luhu. She believes Luhu is aware of his difficult life and health issues, which is why he is non-picky with food and cooperative with medications. Luhu’s strong, cheerful, and lively personality shines through, though he can be quite timid. Maggie’s extra care and attention have resulted in a strong bond, as Luhu has become like a momma’s boy, always by her side.

Maggie gave us insight into Luhu’s daily schedule. “Luhu has a laid-back daily routine with food and water always available for him to enjoy whenever he pleases. He loves his daily serving of canned food, especially during oxygen therapy and around treatment times. Occasionally, he indulges in some of his favorite fruits such as peaches, apples, strawberries, or pears. When I’m away for work, my parents or brother step in to make sure Luhu is well taken care of.”

Maggie shared, “Luhu is turning 12 in August this year, which is truly a miracle. The vets initially told me he might not live past 5 due to various health issues including eye problems, respiratory issues, and reproductive problems. On top of that, he has been battling heart failure since 2022, requiring daily oxygen and nebulizer treatments. I need to dedicate more time and attention to him to ensure his quality of life remains high.”

We were curious to discover what inspired Maggie to start posting photos of Luhu on Instagram, and if she ever imagined he would garner such a massive following. She explained: “I never expected Luhu to be adored by so many people worldwide. I began sharing his pictures on Instagram simply because his personality and adorable face always bring joy to me, my family, and friends. My hope was that he could bring a smile to others as well. You know, sometimes we just like to share things that bring us happiness with others. It’s heartwarming to receive messages from people who say that Luhu makes them happy or helps them feel better when they’re down. It reassures me that sharing Luhu on Instagram was the right decision.”

After gaining popularity and a source of income, Maggie Liu, the mother of internet-famous cat Luhu, made the decision to use the earnings to support other cats in need.
Maggie also reflected on the changes that have occurred since the last post on Bored Panda. “It’s been a while and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I’m certain that your previous post attracted more people to adore Luhu and follow his adventures!” Maggie remarked. With Luhu’s melancholic expression bringing happiness to many online users, we inquired about how Maggie feels knowing that her photos have a positive impact on her followers. “I feel incredibly delighted. Luhu brightens my day whenever I’m feeling low, tired, or emotional, so it’s truly special to me that others can relate to that sentiment,” Maggie shared.
Maggie shared that after Luhu gained popularity, he released a photo album in Japan and sold a desk calendar in China annually. All the proceeds from these sales went towards helping stray cats, such as purchasing cat food, providing medical treatment to those friendly with humans, and supporting neutering operations, as well as facilitating adoptions. Maggie expressed her surprise at Luhu’s fame but emphasized that she saw it as an opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of other cats. Despite Luhu’s success, she clarified that she never intended to profit from his popularity and firmly believed that all the earnings should be used for the welfare of cats in need.
