A video of Xiao Laohu/小老虎 ("Little Tiger"), one of the many cats that lives in the Forbidden City.
Plus a cameo appearance by the calico cat, Ruyi/如意 ("as one wants"), and Jingzhang/警长 ("Sergeant"), the blurry tuxedo cat passing by in the background.

hey y’all, i just had an alarming class discussion with my 7th graders, so could you please answer this poll? (for science, and for me to check my own perception of “common knowledge” i guess)
i personally fall into the 3rd category; i first learned about the Forbidden City from my grandparents’ travels
