A woman from China is leaving her $2,800,000 fortune to her pets to get revenge on children for never visiting her while she was ill.

As a result of her children allegedly neglecting to come and visit her in her old age or see her when she became ill, Ms Liu decided to make some rather controversial amendments.

With her children reportedly nowhere to be seen during her period of ill health, Ms Liu relied instead on her pets - a collection of cats and dogs, as per Zonglan News.

And so grateful was Ms Liu to her pets she decided to remove her human children from her will and replace them with her furry babies instead.

While her children were left outraged to be snubbed by a group of animals, what made the change of the will even more painful was the fact Ms Liu was leaving the animals a hefty fortune.

Yep, the cats and dogs were more than just set for life, with Ms Liu leaving them a whopping 20 million yuan ($2.8 million).

Alas, there was one pretty major issue - in China, it's not legal to leave an inheritance to animals.
