Baidian’er the Chinese cat that predicted the correct outcome of the match between Nigeria and Argentina, during the group stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament has died.


Following the death of Baidian’er, thousands of Chinese have taken to social media to pour their grief over the loss of the psychic cat.

Baidian’er which means white spot in Chinese has also predicted correctly the outcome of five other games during the ongoing World Cup tournament.

The orange-furred tabby was a stray cat that prowled around the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.

He was offered two bowls of food, with the flags of competing World Cup teams stuck in the ground behind them to make the predictions.

He achieved such fame that the Palace Museum even set up an account for him on China’s Weibo, a popular Twitter-like platform.

Unfortunately, Baidian’er’s correct prediction of an Argentinian win against Nigeria turned out to be his last.

The museum said the cat fell ill and finally announced its death on Monday, sparking almost 10,000 comments on Weibo.

“EVERY TIME I GO TO THE FORBIDDEN CITY, I HAVE TO GO SEE BAIDIAN’ER, TAKE A PHOTO, PLAY FOR A WHILE, SEE HIM SLEEP ON THE GRASS IN THE SUN,” WROTE ONE DISTRAUGHT USER.

“GO ON LIVING A HAPPY LIFE IN CAT HEAVEN, I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN.”

It has not been a good week for animal prognosticators.

In Japan, an octopus caught in the northern region of Hokkaido correctly predicted the outcome of three of Japan’s World Cup matches, but like the Blue Samurai met an unfortunate fate.

Even before Japan qualified for the final 16, the octopus named Rabio was reportedly sold and turned into sashimi.

Rabio was following on from the most successful salty soothsayer, an Octopus named Paul who achieved global fame by correctly predicting eight 2010 World Cup games from his aquarium in Germany.

Paul became a worldwide media sensation, with his latter predictions covered by hordes of international media.

But Paul fell offside with his home fans after correctly predicting that Germany would lose to Spain. His aquarium received menacing letters threatening to turn him into a tasty dish.

In the stands, the honour of Paul’s mother was called into question and some sections of the crowd watching on giant screens in Berlin sang anti-octopus songs.
