In Xiangcheng County, a small town located on the western Sichuan Plateau in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, a unique tradition of cat reverence has taken deep root over time. Nearly every household keeps cats, cherishing them as beloved companions. Whether indoors or throughout the village, feline figures can be found everywhere—ranging from mud sculptures above kitchen stoves to colorful tiles, painted murals, and intricately carved statues adorning outer walls. Once trusted guardians of the grain against mice, these animals are now cultural symbols that enhance local tourism; the tradition of venerating cats has seamlessly integrated into the daily lives of the local community.
