Among the many foreign cat breeds, many cat owners believe that the most beautiful cat is the Ragdoll cat. With its snow-white hair and cute and clingy personality, it looks like a little fairy. Among Chinese native cats, I think the only one that can compete with Ragdoll cats is the Shandong Linqing lion cat.

Today, let me tell you about the representative of appearance among Chinese native cats - "Shandong Lion Cat". Shandong Lion Cat, as you can see from its name, is one of the unique cat breeds in China. There are long hairs on its neck, just like the mane on a lion's neck, so the name lion cat comes from this. The hair colors range from black and white to yellow, but the most precious ones are pure white.

Among the Shandong lion cats, the Linqing lion cat is the most valuable, because in addition to having long snow-white hair, the Linqing lion cat also has mandarin duck eyes, one blue and one yellow. Also known as the "yin and yang eyes", these eyes were endowed with very magical legends in ancient times! ! !

It is said that they can channel spirits and see ghosts, so when the ancients bought a house, they would take a cat with yin and yang eyes around the house. If the cat is restless or suddenly escapes, it means there is something wrong in the house. Clean things cannot be bought in this house.

Actually, these are all superstitions. The real cause of yin and yang eyes in cats is a disease called heterochromia iridis. This disease is prone to occur in white cats. It is actually a genetic defect, but this defect does not affect the appearance of the lion cat. It can even be said to make the appearance of the lion cat even higher.

Shandong lion cats, like many Chinese native cats, have evolved nearly perfect genes after thousands of years of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. The Shandong lion cat has a strong body and strong resistance to diseases. Its long hair can also withstand severe cold. It is also an expert mouse catcher.

But like all long-haired cats, Shandong lion cats shed a little bit seriously, especially during the shedding season, when cat hair is flying all over the place, and they need to be groomed frequently.

The price of such a beautiful cat is naturally not low. Take the most precious Linqing lion cat as an example. A purebred lion cat with yin and yang eyes can cost several thousand, and even if it is in good condition, Can reach tens of thousands. Such a price naturally scares off a lot of shit collectors!

The price is comparable to many foreign cat breeds. One reason is that they look good, and another reason is because of the way lion cats are reproduced. Compared with other cats, Shandong lion cats have very few offspring. They only give birth to one litter a year, and they only give birth to 2-3 cats at a time, which leads toThe number of Eastern Lion Cats is relatively small.

Things are rare and expensive, so the price will naturally be expensive. The above is the knowledge about the lion cat in Linqing, Shandong.
