The Chinese civet cat is an ancient cat breed originating from China. Maybe everyone has heard the story of "a civet cat exchanges for a prince". The "civet cat" here is the Chinese civet cat. It can be said that the status of civet cats in China is unknown to everyone. However, the civet cat that seems to be everywhere in China has become a rare breed in the eyes of foreigners. Why is this?

Note: In the table, the opposite of "natural varieties" are varieties bred by artificial crosses.

The civet cat has been mentioned so many times in background messages and comments. Why has there been no popular science about the civet cat? Because its identity is actually very embarrassing. Chinese Li Hua (Dragon Li) is the only cat breed in China registered (passed) by the International Cat Lovers Organization. The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) launched a breed standard for civet cats in 2010. However, currently, the official websites of TICA, CFA, and ACFA do not display the breed information of Chinese civet cats. The breed standard for civet cats can currently be found in the CFA database.

The civet cat has a diamond-shaped head, almond-shaped eyes, and the eye color is green (mostly) or yellowish brown. The civet cat has a strong body, large claws and a powerful tail. The coat of civet cats comes in a variety of colors, but generally has tabby-like stripes. It takes up to 3 years for them to grow to the "complete body" of physiological maturity.

Cihuahua cats are very loyal to their owners and are friendly to family members, including children, and other pets in the home. If you already have a dog at home and want to keep a cat, then the civet cat is a good choice. Cihuahua cats are not only friendly, but also smart. Not only are they good-natured, they are also smart. They have a better understanding of the things around them than other cats and can interact with humans.

After a long period of natural elimination, the civet cat breed has become a very healthy breed. Currently, there is no disease considered to be a genetic disease that civet cats are susceptible to. Every cat is so agile that catching mice alive is a piece of cake. Of course, for poop collectors, there is also a problem with cats’ agility, that is, you need to always be wary of them breaking vases or other valuables at home.
