[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] It has been revealed belatedly that Ponzu, a star cat who was very popular on social networking services (SNS) with over 30,000 followers, tragically died after being beaten by a 12-year-old boy.


According to the New York Post on the 22nd (local time), Ponzu was taking a walk with its owner, Chanann Aksornan, near McCarren Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York, on the 4th.


During the walk, a 12-year-old boy tripped over Ponzu's leash, and in anger, the boy pulled the leash, lifted Ponzu into the air, and then threw him onto the ground.


Ponzu was covered in blood and suffered severe injuries, including lost claws. Ponzu, who had a pre-existing heart condition, ultimately died on the spot from cardiac arrest. Aksornan was unable to do anything as the incident happened in an instant.
