Car modeling has never been that lucrative, but now a new breakout star is looking to rival those eye-popping numbers, at least on a pound-for-pound basis. Her name is Mao Mao, and while she's known for being catty, experts say they've never seen a more natural cat walk. That's because Mao Mao is a British Shorthair cat. Her owner, who works in the Chinese automotive industry, came up with the idea to place Mao Mao on a vehicle he was displaying at a car show to create buzz. A crowd quickly swarmed, taking photos to share on social media, which also increased exposure for the vehicle. Realizing that he was on to something, her owner began promoting Mao Mao as a car model. Today she's a household name at auto shows, where her pouty face, nonchalant attitude, and extensive wardrobe allow her to earn up to $1,500 per day while barely lifting a paw. Like any successful model, Mao Mao demands a certain level of pampering. She eats only the finest cat food, has four different beds and five scratching boards, and her wardrobe is entirely custom-nothing off the shelf. |
