The Chinchilla cat, known in English as chinchilla, belongs to the new breed of cat.
Chinchilla is native to The United Kingdom and was deliberately bred by Persian cats. Gingera has shorter limbs and is slightly smaller than a Persian cat, but appears more dexterous. The cat's eyes are large and round, and the color of the eyeballs is emerald, blue-green or yellow-green. The whole body has thick and shiny hairs, and the hair is abundant. The tail is short and fluffy like a squirrel's tail, which is very charming. The Chinchilla cat is physically strong, quiet, docile, and has a strong sense of self-esteem.
Historical Development:
The Chinchilla cat is a characteristic cat breed that has been carefully bred over many years. In fact, the proven ancestor of the chinchilla cat is difficult to verify, as it was bred by many cat species, but the origin of this cat breed is recorded in detail. So the name "Chinchilla" does not know whether it came from Chinnie or because the breed has some similarities with the South American chinchilla (commonly known as chinchilla).

Advantages and disadvantages:
Pros: Chinchilla loves cleanliness very much, even to the point of cleanliness, so Chinchilla often lies next to the owner and asks the owner to comb his hair. Because Chinchilla is a long-haired cat with explosive straight hair, it is easy to knot and produce bacteria if it is not kept regularly.
Chinchilla likes to be quiet, it likes no noise and warm and dry places, and it is very smart, can understand the owner's mood, so Chinchilla does not bother the owner casually, often obediently basking in the sun and sleeping on the side.
The appearance of Chinchilla is very beautiful, its hair is soft and comfortable, and it has a pair of round eyes, bright and energetic, and her face is also chubby, not only cute and sweet, but also very noble, which makes people like it very much.
Disadvantages: Chinchilla has a more lazy personality, so she does not like sports very much, which leads to Chinchilla's body being more fragile and very easy to get sick. Therefore, it is usually necessary for the owner to play with Chinchilla and let Chinchilla maintain a certain amount of exercise to improve her body's immunity.
As mentioned earlier, Chinchilla's hair is very long and beautiful, but it is precisely because of the long hair that it is easy to get dirty, and the hair is easy to knot, and it takes more effort to comb its hair with chinchilla. In addition, Chinchilla is easy to lose hair, which is a headache for many people.
In addition to these drawbacks, Chinchilla is also prone to tear marks. Because Chinchilla's nose is relatively short, its nasal tear duct is also short, and it is easy not to circulate, and the tears will overflow, which eventually makes it easy to have tear marks, which not only destroys the appearance and beauty, but also may be sick.
