When it comes to cats with high looks, everyone will immediately think of muppet cats. It is a well-known "little fairy" in the cat industry, not only the appearance is very online, the personality is also very quiet and docile, willing to hug the owner, but also can get along with children happily.
Such a cute muppet cat is undoubtedly a small kitten that many shovelers want to have. However, it is precisely because the Muppet cat is deeply favored by the shovelers, coupled with the large cost of breeding purebred Muppet cats, its market price has also risen, making many people prohibitive.
I like a long-haired cat with a high appearance, but I don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a muppet cat, what to do?
At this time, you can consider our native Linqing lion cat, which is not inferior at all.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">Part.1</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin of the Linqing lion cat</h1>
Linqing lion cat, is what we often call the lion cat, also known as the Chinese white cat, African lion cat.
Linqing lion cat has been breeding history for 500 to 600 years. There are two theories about its origins: one is that it is a descendant of a Turkish Angora cat in The Xinjiang region of China; the other is that the Linqing people in Shandong Province crossed persian cats with Luxi cats and bred a breed.
As early as the Ming Dynasty Jiajing to Wanli years, Linqing, which was located at the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Zhangwei River, gradually formed the largest handicraft and commercial city in Luxi, and a large number of European merchants and missionaries flocked to it. The Persian cats they brought had the opportunity to mate with the Russi cats, so the Chinese Linqing lion cat appeared. Therefore, many people refer to the lion cat as the Persian cat.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the delicate relationship between the Linqing lion cat and the muppet cat</h1>
Many breeders use other breeds of cats for experiments when cultivating a new breed.
As we said above, the Linqing lion cat may have the blood of the Turkish Angora cat or the persian cat.

The origin of the muppet cat is also inseparable from the Persian cat. In the 1960s, American breeding expert Ann. Baker had a white cat mate with a Persian cat, a Berman cat, and a Burmese cat, and the baby cat born was the prototype of the Muppet cat.

The ancestors of the Persian cat are based on the gray cat introduced to Italy from Persia in 1620 and the two white cats introduced to France from Turkey and Angola in the same period, and through mating with different long-haired cats, a cat breed with a variety of coat colors was born. By the second half of the 20th century, the Turkish Angora cat was used as a mating object to improve the Persian cat breed.

In summary, the birth of the Persian cat is inseparable from the Turkish angora cat, the birth of the muppet cat is inseparable from the Persian cat, and the birth of the Chinese Linqing lion cat is inseparable from the Persian cat or the Turkish Angolan cat. All in all, we are all relatives.

Seems a bit of a detour? Probably as shown in the figure

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > characteristics of the Linqing lion cat</h1>
Linqing lion cat, cat as its name, a long white hair, large head and short ears, because of the long neck hair, standing like a lion and named.
The coat color of the Linqing lion cat is mostly white, and white is more precious, a few are yellow or brown, and there are also black and white coat color varieties. The eyes are mostly blue or yellow, and there are also yellow and blue Mandarin duck eyes.
According to Linqing senior cat lovers, there are some rare breeds of Linqing lion cats: such as white body and black tail, called "iron gun dragging jade bottle"; those with different colors on the back are called "general hanging seals"; "general hanging seals" and black or yellow tails are called "hanging seal dragging guns"; black backs and white abdomen, called "dark clouds covered with snow"; black cats with white claws, called "stepping on snow to find plums"; there is a different color in the head and neck, and the tail tip and head spot are called "whipping hydrangea balls" and so on.
Look at this appearance, it really gives our "Chinese pastoral cat" a fight.
It is said that the price of the early Linqing lion cat was very high, and only the nobles of the imperial palace could have it. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lion cat became a cat that every household could raise. But because of this, its identity has become more and more humble, and it has gradually degenerated into a stray cat.

In addition to appearance, the cat's personality is also a concern for everyone. Linqing lion cats did not disappoint everyone, they are not only very online in appearance, but also very gentle in personality. They are very intelligent, not afraid of strangers, like to interact with people, very clingy, and very loyal to their owners.
In addition, the lion cat has the physical qualities that the "Chinese Pastoral Cat" has, the body is good, the resistance is strong, and it is also a recognized rat catcher. The cute thing is that some lion cats like to eat fruit, like puppies.
In summary, whether it is in terms of appearance, personality, physical fitness and other aspects, lion cats do not lose muppet cats, and even more suitable for breeding than muppets. "Good health, strong resistance, no genetic disease" has killed the Muppet cat in a second. The point is that plynxes don't have high prices or even don't need to buy them at all.
I hope that after learning about the Linqing lion cat, you can pay more attention to our native cats. Many pastoral cats are "cheap" in our own eyes, but they are the cats that are most adaptable to the local environment and are the least likely to get sick. The important thing is that their appearance and personality are really not bad at all.
