Hello everyone, welcome to the Ming Ming Meow Society, I am Xiao Ming!
Speaking of lion cats, many new shovelers may not have heard of them, after all, lion cats are not common breed cats. It belongs to a branch of the Chinese pastoral cat, because it looks like a muppet cat and has a low price, and is also known as "muppet flat". But Xiao Ming believes that it is just a lion cat, not a substitute for anyone, let's take a look at the lion cat together.
Lion cats are mainly produced in Shandong Province, the hometown of Confucius and Mengmeng, and are often called Shandong Lion Cats or Linqing Lion Cats because they are more prolific in Linqing City. Purebred lion cats are mostly white, but there are also black and white, but the pure white heterogeneous pupils of the lion cat is the most precious. Because of its long hair and appearance, it is often mistaken for a muppet cat.
The lion cat is the offspring of the Persian cat and the native Tanuki cat of Shandong. The origin of the lion cat can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when the Arab kings sent envoys to China, so a small number of Persian cats were brought into the country. But the lion cat really flourished in the Ming Dynasty, especially after the opening of the canal, the Ming Dynasty and Persia became more and more closely related, persian cats also settled here, and produced offspring with the local tanuki cats, so more and more lion cats were born.
1, strong and strong, continuing the fine tradition of Chinese pastoral cats, compared to other breeds of cats have a steel stomach, some lion cats also love to eat fruit, very suitable for novice breeding.
2, high appearance, as a rare long-haired cat species in the Chinese pastoral cat, the appearance value also belongs to the top existence of the pastoral cat. And the replacement of the Muppet cat, known as the ceiling of the cat's appearance, also reflects the appearance of the lion cat from the side.
3, the price is low, as long as the pursuit of purebred or heterogeneous lion cats, the price of most lion cats in the hundreds to three thousand, compared to those often thousands of breeds of cats, can be described as too much affordable.
4, good personality, although the name with the word "lion", but it has a soft personality, most of the lion cats are very clingy, not afraid of strangers.
Lion cats are not currently among the breeds certified by the CFA and other international cat organization associations, so most of the so-called regular lion cat cat houses are also IQ taxes. At present, the common lion cats on the market are mostly cats with some lion cat blood, and purebred lion cats are relatively rare even in China, after all, lion cats were previously royal tribute cats, and the fertility rate was low. But only you like it, even if the blood is not pure, what is the harm?
