What is the Chinese Pastoral Cat? What are the varieties?
The Chinese pastoral cat is a collective name for the native Chinese cat, which is a carnivorous cat that contains several species. There are well-known Tanuki cats, orange cats, three-flower cats, black cats, white cats, Sichuan Jianzhou cats, Shandong lion cats, dairy cats, etc., and now a number of breeds have been bred.
What exactly do they look like? How to distinguish between individuals?
How to distinguish specifically? There are still some difficulties, the following Xiaobian will use the most intuitive pictures to show you first to simply deepen some understanding of it from the physical characteristics.
1. Tanuki cat
Purebred tanuki flowers are a favorite of the editor!
2. Orange cat
3. Three-flower cat
Because of genetic decisions, the three flowers are basically female cats, which is common sense
4. Black cat
5. White cat
6. Cow cat
7. Sichuan Jianzhou cat
In fact, many people orange cat, tanuki cat and Sichuan Jianzhou cat are silly and unclear, also known as big orange or tanuki flower. Of course, many people have a variety of names are not wrong, because it is particularly similar to pure-bred orange cats and tanuki cats, the difference is that their coat colors are different, most of them are mixed in color, there are few pure hair colors, it is a breed of the original Sichuan Jianzhou, its super high appearance, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties or the royal tribute cat Oh.
8. Shandong lion cat
Lion cats are relatively easy to distinguish, although it has the same variety of body colors as the Sichuan Jianzhou cat above, but their facial and back hairs are relatively slender, looking like a cute male lion, very cute.
There are also some cat breeds generated by genetic mashup that we will not introduce one by one, which is relatively rare, such as the following, although it does not look so handsome, but the unique appearance is also very joyful.
Above we have already had some preliminary understanding of the Chinese pastoral cat, and now we will cut into the theme.
What are the advantages of the Chinese pastoral cat compared with some foreign pet cats?
First, the congenital genes of Chinese pastoral cats are best preserved.
Why? Because the Chinese pastoral cat is stronger than the average pet cat in terms of physique. The proportions of the limbs are more appropriate, which makes them more agile, and they are also particularly good at bouncing and catching prey.
They can easily pass through some obstacles
They excel better at hunting and speed than the average pet cat, thanks to their good genetic inheritance.
In the past, relevant scientists have done relevant experiments, the reaction speed of wild cats is about 7 times the speed of snake attack, and the genetic genes of Chinese pastoral cats are the closest to wild cats, although they are used as domestic pets, they have not degraded their hunting skills. Go out often to hunt some lizards, wild birds, cockroaches, fish or occasionally hunt some snakes to add a meal to yourself.
With such a skill, the average foreign pet cat is indeed out of reach.
Second, the survivability of Chinese pastoral cats is stronger.
The Chinese pastoral cat has been very capable since childhood, haha
If bouncing sports are the housekeeping skills of Chinese pastoral cats, then catching mice is an instinctive reaction they are born with, and it is also a good tradition inherited from genes.
We all know that cats are the nemesis of mice, so the Chinese pastoral cat is a good hand at catching mice, as a domestic cat, guarding the granaries of thousands of farmers, and is deeply loved by people. Their ability to be self-sufficient in times of food scarcity is unquestionable, and they survive even when their owners run out of food.
Why cats love to eat mice, this is also caused by genetics, because mice contain a large amount of sulfuric acid, and cats themselves can not directly produce this substance, can only be ingested through foreign. This substance can help cats improve their eyesight and some physical functions, making them less likely to be infected with some animal diseases than other breeds of pet cats.
In addition, they will occasionally pack some "leftovers" or prey to bring to you, giving back to their owners, perhaps in the world of cats, it is afraid that you will starve because of your lack of viability, it is the owner of this home... It looks like a kind of invitation to merit...!
The Chinese pastoral cat also has a strong sense of territory, often active within a few kilometers of the park around the home, in the territory it patrols, it will often find some snakes hunted by it, which also indirectly protects your safety. When food is plentiful, domestic cats do not eat snakes, more out of their playful and curious personality.
But no matter how greedy it is, after playing enough, it will always obediently go home by itself, and if it is not deliberately taken away to a relatively strange place, it generally will not abandon you.
Third, the Chinese pastoral cat knows more about gratitude and pouring out their emotions
Some cats are not as clingy as foreign breed pet cats, but they know how to interact with you more, the general pet cat is quieter, most of the time is sleeping, and the domestic cat, although it also sometimes looks lazy, but it spends more time with you.
Pet cats sleep up to about 16 hours a day, and are generally only active at night. But pastoral cats are a little more energetic, sleep relatively less than pet cats, and actually interact with their owners for longer.
Why do they know how to be grateful? Because the prey they catch will often be shared with you, this gratitude, the average pet cat does not have, they do not have the ability to hunt alone, genetic degradation has been much worse than the Chinese pastoral cat.
Many friends living in the city may not feel anything, but partners living in the countryside can often feel the warmth they bring. For example, when the pond rises, it catches a fish and brings it to you, or it catches a bird and a mouse to give it to you...
Some people may be disgusted, because you may not understand the way animals evoke emotions, after all, food is their most precious thing. In addition to this, they sometimes stick to you and need your touch and care.
Of course, sometimes they will ignore your love, that kind of lazy, sometimes cute, sometimes high and cold posture, lustful kittens always make people love it endlessly, this is the charm of the Chinese pastoral cat.
Well, the article I will share here first, do you know what are the advantages of the Chinese pastoral cat? Friends with views are welcome to discuss in the comment area!
I am Miaoyin, cute and charming. Nothing like to watch popular science, more wonderful content, we will see you in the next issue! Bye!
@ what you see, are very scientific
