Have you ever heard of Linqing Lion Cat? That is, the affordable version of "ragdoll cat".

I remember that the last time it made a grand appearance in people's field of vision was as a "stray fairy cat". Although the snow-white hair was covered with dust, it could not hide its elegant temperament.

At that time, many netizens commented, saying that the cat was a "princess" that fell into the mortal world, and it aroused questions, how could such a beautiful cat become a stray?

In fact, although the lion cat is very beautiful and is a long-haired cat, few people keep it, and have never even heard of it. Today, veterinarian Xiao Ming is here to introduce it to you.

Place of origin : Linqing City, Shandong Province.
Breed: A cross between a blue-faced persian cat and a yellow-eyed civet cat.
Appearance: The long-haired lion cat with pure white mandarin duck eyes is the best.
Compared with Ragdoll cats: The price is an advantage, the appearance is indistinguishable, and the physical quality is also better than that of Ragdolls.

Some people may want to ask, why have such beautiful cats never been seen in the pet market, and why are they rarely mentioned among the local cats we promote?
First of all, the most important thing is that it is too rare.
Most of our pastoral cats have strong reproductive capabilities, such as civet cats and cow cats. At a glance, these types of cats are everywhere.
Although lion cats have good physical fitness, their reproductive ability is very poor, resulting in their scarcity.

Although It is a pastoral cat, but its price is top among pastoral cats, because a lion cat with excellent appearance is really rare.

Some catteries are not willing to spend a lot of time breeding lion cats, because the genetic coat color of lion cats is not very stable, and the lion cats bred may not be pure white, but pure white is the price Sold at a high price. The second issue is the personality of the lion cat. Probably because the cat has strong abilities, it causesIt does not need to rely on its owner at all, so it may rather wander than be raised by others. Therefore, most of the lion cats that appear in our field of vision are stray cats or free-range cats.
In comparison, the Ragdoll cat's personality is really much better, and it will be needed by its owner. I feel that naturally such a soft cat will be more lovable. Finally, the lion cat’s hair is difficult to manage. The most popular hair of lion cats is snow white, but white looks dirty, and a little bit of gray is visible to the naked eye. The personality of lion cats also makes them unwilling to be restrained by their owners. In addition, their long hair may require grooming in a few days.
Not only that, they are also prone to shedding. When the shedding season comes, the hair at home will probably fly all over the place. The above is a summary of the reasons why lion cats tend to fade away from the perspective of shit shovelers. In fact, veterinarian Xiao Ming thinks that lion cats, as our Chinese cats, are not well known. In the final analysis, it has a lot to do with publicity. When everyone introduces local cats in the future, don’t forget the lion cat.
