Difference in appearance:
The biggest difference between Shandong lion cat and Persian cat is the face shape, the face bone of Linqing cat is similar to that of ordinary domestic cats, the eyes are not as round and large as Persian cats, the nose is still high, and the frontal bone is not obvious; Speaking of ears, the ear roots are high and the ear body is large, and most of the fluff after moulting is very short, a bit like a semi-long-haired cat. Occasionally, the hairs grow long, but the head is still easy to distinguish. In addition, their heads, hands and feet are long and tall, and their bodies are also very long, but this feature is not obvious until after the hair is changed.
Differences in face shape:
The most special thing about the Persian cat is that it is not much like the face shape of the cat Or many Beijingers think that it is "cold", the Persian cat should "buzz the nose" is the best product, at least it is also a short nose and round eyes, the eye distance is very wide, the ears are small and round, the distance is also wide, the fluff on the face is much more than that of the Linqing cat After adulthood, even after the hair change, the body hair is still very soft, the whole body has a very thick bottom hair, and it is like a doll after adulthood, and the "feel" is absolutely good. The nose is small, the forehead is high, and the forehead segment is low, which is very different from the Linqing cat.
Persian cats are flattened faces (flattened faces, very collapsed noses), and Linqing is the face of ordinary domestic cats with short snouts (that is, mouth protrusions).
Differences in hair:
When it comes to "authentic" Persian cats, many people think that it must be white, in fact, the color alone, Persian cats have more than thirty recognized colors, such as orange, gray and blue and other monochromatic and various discolorations, tricolor series and somewhat like the domestic cat marking species. Although many colors, Persian cats are characterized by the same bone and hair: they all have a shrunken head, a slightly shorter foot and tail, and a slightly thicker bone. On the outside, the persian cat's hands and feet seem to be very thick, but in fact, because the long hairs on their feet are erect, not like some books say that "the feet are particularly rough".

What is even more bizarre is that the representative type of Linqing lion cat, the Mandarin Duck Eye Cat, has two different colors and is more attractive. This precious trait of heterochromia and pan-light makes the ornamental value of Linqing lion cats increase several times.
Differences in personality traits:
Persian cats are gentle and elegant, responsive, empathetic, less moving, quiet, noble and gorgeous temperament. The call is slender and pleasant, and the ability to adapt to the environment is strong. But in the summer, he hates people to hug, likes to sleep alone on the floor, and is proud of a cat, often making the owner feel that it is not his own, but the dear Persian cat who has a master.
