About Catherine Tian

Catherine “Cathy” Tian (known affectionately as Cat) is a British-born Chinese entrepreneur, creator, and digital brand founder known across the web as CathyCatBaoBao. As one-half of the viral couple brand TheMinCatShow, Cathy is not only a co-founder of one of AllThingsMin’s most beloved content channels but also the creative force behind her own independent brand, CathyCatBaoBao. She is also a frequent collaborator and strategic brand partner to Minvydas Vegele, the founder of the AllThingsMin content network. Their dynamic, real-life chemistry has become a hallmark of AllThingsMin’s storytelling.

From Finance to Full-Time Creator: Cathy’s Story

Cathy was raised in the United Kingdom by Chinese immigrant parents who instilled the traditional values of academic excellence and professional stability. She lived that path with precision, earning a BSc in Economics from University College London (UCL) and later completing an MBA from the prestigious Peking University in Beijing.

Following her studies, Cathy secured a respected role in finance—but beneath the polished corporate exterior, she felt unfulfilled. “I had checked every box, but deep down I knew I wasn’t living my truth,” she recalls.

The decision to pivot from finance to full-time content creation marked a turning point—a reclaiming of personal and creative freedom. That leap of faith would not only lead to her viral success but also help define a content ecosystem rooted in multicultural identity, authenticity, and transformation.

Building a Brand: CathyCatBaoBao

Cathy’s self-titled brand, CathyCatBaoBao, is a reflection of her personality and cultural story. The platform blends Mandarin-English charm with lifestyle storytelling, comedy, and candid social commentary. With a strong focus on relatability and joy, Cathy uses her content to connect with an audience navigating the same dualities she once struggled to reconcile – traditional expectations vs. modern self-expression.

Her nickname “Cat” pairs with her real-life and business partner Minvydas Vegele (“Min”), forming the brand identity of TheMinCatShow. The show offers skits, anime parodies, and humorous takes on modern relationships, powered by their unique Chinese-Lithuanian cultural fusion.

A Co-Founder of TheMinCatShow

Together with Minvydas Vegele, Cathy co-founded TheMinCatShow, a couples’ sketch comedy channel that has garnered attention for its emotional relatability, high-energy visuals, and playful tone. The duo creates content that blends anime references, real-life couple dynamics, and cultural storytelling in ways that resonate globally.

What sets Cathy apart is her gift for nuance: her ability to balance bold comedy with meaningful messaging, all while retaining her cultural roots. Their work on TheMinCatShow continues to be a central pillar of the AllThingsMin content network.

Redefining Representation & Mission

Cathy isn’t just a creator. She’s a cultural bridge-builder. Her goal is to challenge stereotypes, elevate Chinese cultural narratives, and inspire others from bicultural backgrounds to embrace their full identity.

“Growing up in the West, I saw how often China was misunderstood or misrepresented. I want to change that narrative.”

Whether she’s filming comedic sketches, sharing Mandarin-English vlogs, or collaborating on livestreams, her mission remains the same: empower young people to live authentically and make space for cross-cultural connection in a digital world.
