Meanwhile, it\u2019s taken our local subway four months just to fix one broken vending machine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-backstory\">The Backstory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years ago, Xing built a high-tech Cat House that went viral. Naturally, his fans asked, \u201cWhen are you going to build them a subway?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xing thought about it. And thought about it some more. The main problems?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How do you get the train doors and the platform doors to open at the same time?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you make an escalator that works \u2014 and is cat-safe?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of overthinking it, Xing said, \u201cForget it. I\u2019ll figure it out as I go,\u201d which, honestly, is the energy we all need when assembling IKEA furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-big-reveal\">The Big Reveal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After four months of late nights and more cleanup than he\u2019d care to admit, <strong>Cat Town Station<\/strong> finally opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video shows Xing welcoming the first \u201cpassengers\u201d \u2014 his cats \u2014 as the train pulls in. There are signs, announcements (\u201cWelcome to Cat Town Station, please let passengers off before boarding\u201d), and cats strutting onto the platform like they\u2019re late for an important meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s\u2026 perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-you-ll-love-this\">Why You\u2019ll Love This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s <strong>pure joy<\/strong> in video form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll wonder why your own cat doesn\u2019t have a better commute than you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s weirdly soothing to watch \u2014 kind of like those train simulator videos, but with fur and whiskers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"watch-the-magic\">Watch the Magic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only watch one video today (and let\u2019s face it, you\u2019re going to watch at least twelve), make it this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
