How to distinguish the Siamese cat’s atavism from its appearance? Characteristics of the Siamese cat! The problem of poor appearance of the Siamese cat (detailed introduction) is easy to understand, but what is the situation of the Siamese cat’s atavism? Woolen cloth? In fact, this is a relatively special genetic phenomenon, that is, the characteristics of the cat’s ancestors. The physiological characteristics that had disappeared in the previous generations have reappeared in the current cats. This is an atavism.

To give the simplest example, for example, Siamese cats are now short-haired cats. If both parents are purebred short-haired Siamese cats, long-haired Siamese cats will be born. If this happens, it means that this Siamese cat has returned to its ancestors. Atavism is a less common biological "degeneration" phenomenon. For example, a furry child whose body is covered with hair after birth is a kind of atavism "degeneration" of human hair tissue and organs. Therefore, the location where atavism appears There is uncertainty.

However, there are not many Siamese cats that have returned to their ancestors, so the prices are relatively high. But how can there be so many Siamese cats that have returned to their ancestors? At this time, many unscrupulous merchants used some special physiological phenomena of hybrid Siamese cats to promote that they were atavistic cats to raise prices. For example, Siamese cats with stripes have eyes that are not blue but Siamese cats of other colors, in fact, these Siamese cats are just of impure blood, and there is no difference for people who really love cats. However, when buying Siamese cats, be careful to be deceived by unscrupulous merchants.

Of course, the editor also believes that parents who really love cats, regardless of breed, will not say that the cats in their homes are not so noble and despise them. Atavism is only a small part of them. In fact, It has no practical significance.
