McDonald’s China is once again targeting the affluent customer base of young „pet parents“. After launching a cat bed shaped like a burger box in 2021, which sold out immediately, the US fast-food chain has now introduced a cat carrier that resembles a takeaway paper bag. The handbag, available in three designs and intended to double as a cat bed, is limited to 500,000 pieces and can only be obtained in combination with an expensive combo meal. The cat carriers quickly went viral on social media, with the hashtag „McDonald’s cat bed“ reaching 160 million views on Weibo alone.
