The owner of YouTube-famous cat Puff, Lynch Zhang, shares insight into Puff’s day-to-day life and how they navigate the holiday season.
How did Puff first become an internet sensation?
Puff has always been curious about everything I do, especially in the kitchen. One day, I thought about him becoming a chef while I was cooking, and after making a video, I knew I needed to share it with others online. People instantly connected with it, and before I knew it, Puff had become everyone’s favorite mini chef.
What does a typical day in the life of Puff look like?
He usually starts his day with a big stretch and some cuddles before breakfast. After that, he’ll play a little, nap a little, and then join me while I am working. Puff loves being part of the action, and even when he’s not “cooking,” he’s usually supervising nearby. By the evening, he’s ready to curl up and snuggle in for the night.
Puff loves to cook. Does he have a special diet or favorite foods to keep him healthy and energized?
Even though he makes all sorts of dishes online, Puff sticks to a healthy diet that our vet has approved. Eggs are his absolute favorite treat. They’re not only delicious to him but also great for keeping his coat shiny and giving him the energy he needs to keep up with his playful personality.
The holidays are coming up. What is the most useful product you’ve invested in for Puff?
An automatic litter box has been a game-changer for Puff. With guests coming and schedules getting hectic, it takes one more task off my plate and keeps Puff’s space clean and stress-free. It’s been such a practical investment that makes life easier for both of us.
What advice do you have for pet parents about keeping the holidays stress-free for their pets?
Try to keep their daily routines as consistent as possible, even when your own schedule gets busier. Pets feel more secure when they know what to expect. It also helps to create a quiet space for them to retreat to if things get overwhelming with guests or holiday activities. Of course, be mindful of foods that aren’t safe for pets, since so much of the holiday season revolves around meals and treats.
