Chapter 217: Tanuki Cat
It was cleaned in the pet hospital yesterday, and now this big cat has finally revealed its true face.
The big cat's nose is brick-red, with a visible but gentle bulge from the bridge of the nose to the brow bone, and no significant forehead breakage. The lower jaw is slightly shorter than the upper jaw, but the bite is correct.
Its coat is medium-length, soft, silky, fluffy and has a fluffy texture, without any traces of undercoat.
With the exception of the tip of the tail, all coats are striped. In these patterns, the tips of the long hairs are black, while the tips of the undercoats are lighter gray.
Its eye sockets are pale yellowish, with markings on the forehead that darken to the ears and the back of the head, and black eyelash markings around the eyes and cheeks.
There are small black dots above the corners of the mouth that create a smiling expression. Starting from the neck, there are three clear black lines that distinguish the color of the undercoat, evenly dividing the patterns on both sides of the body.
The big cat has two unbroken necklace-like patterns on its chest, its body and sides are covered by several vertical lines, complete or incomplete, and there are rings on its legs.
The paw pads of large cats are black, the hair between the toes is black, and the tail has clear ring-like markings and the tips are black.
Luo Tong took advantage of the big cat's inability to resist now, and put his hands up and down against the big cat. Even the paws of the big cat are not spared, with five toes on the front paws and four toes on the back paws, which are soft to hold in the hand.
It's a pity that the big cat hasn't woken up until now, but Luo Tong saw it last night, and the big cat's eyes are green. Now that I think about it, I feel amazing, this big cat is really good-looking except for being a little thinner.
It looks very natural, at least Luo Tong likes it very much. Luo Tong had thought about finding a companion for Luo Xiaotang before, but Luo Tong didn't like the pet cats sold on the market, and there were many precious breeds.
But Luo Tong just can't look at it, and always feels that there is less energy. Now seeing this big cat, Luo Tong understands. The cats on the market are all used as pets, and they are squeamish.
Their Luo Xiaotang is just an ordinary orange cat, and she always feels a sense of disobedience when she is with these precious cats. But right now, Luo Xiaocheng and the big cat are nesting together, but Luo Tong feels that it looks very harmonious.
This is a male cat, and she has so many pets, and she can still distinguish the sex of the animal. Luo Tong held his chin and made a conclusion: "When it is ready, I will be with Luo Xiaocheng and you, and you will not bully it when the time comes." ”
Sheng Qiwu squatted on the side and said with a smile: "Then our Princess Luo Xiaotang is also a cat with companions." ”
Regarding the jokes of the two, Luo Xiaocheng ignored them, leaving only Sheng Qiwu with a fat butt. It lies on its stomach in front of the big cat, and from time to time it stretches out its paws to play with the big cat's fur.
Sheng Qiwu didn't have anything to do today, so he simply accompanied Luo Tong at home. He took a book and leaned back on the couch, while Luo Tong was lying on his lap and scrolling on his phone.
This big cat is unusual, and she really doesn't know where it is, so Luo Tong looked for those introductions about cat breeds on the Internet.
This cat should belong to a large cat in terms of size, and Luo Tong simply looked for the breed of a large cat. The first thing that catches your eye is the Maine, and Luo Tong looked at the photo and passed it decisively.
It's not just the color, the big cat is black and gray, and the Maine is gold, which is obviously not.
Later, Luo Tong simply searched directly for domestic large cat breeds, which I don't know, it turns out that there are many domestic local cat breeds. What leopard cats, three-flowered cats, raccoon cats, yellow cats, lion cats, Persian cats, cloud cats, Sichuan Jianzhou cats, Xuan cats, etc.
These cats all have their own photos, and Luo Tong immediately knew that the big cat was a raccoon cat when he saw the picture of the raccoon cat.
She sat up suddenly, holding her mobile phone and approaching Sheng Qiwu. "Brother Sheng, do you think the big cat is a tanuki cat? I think it's quite similar, what do you think?"
Luo Tong's actions alarmed Sheng Qiwu, he took the phone, took the picture of the tanuki cat and the big cat by the sofa to take a good look at it, and affirmed: "That's right, it's the tanuki cat." ”
Luo Tong, who got a positive answer, smiled, took the phone and lay back on Sheng Qiwu's lap to check the introduction of the tanuki cat.
Unexpectedly, the origin of this raccoon cat is also quite big, and the raccoon cat is one of the oldest known native breeds originating from our country.
It belongs to the natural cat because it is a breed that has been preserved over thousands of years after the natural elimination of many breeds.
People are most familiar with the story of "Tanuki for Prince" (Song Dynasty), but the introduction of the raccoon flower breed in China is far before that.
They have lived in the vast territory of China for nearly a hundred years, and they are also good predators.
They are strong, well-proportioned, naturally bred gentle cat breeds, and even their temperament is mild.
In 2003, the China Great Wall Cat Club applied to the international community to show the Chinese civet cat as a unique cat breed in China.
After seven years of hard work, it was approved at the CFA Houston Board Meeting on February 8, 2010. Tanuki officially entered the CFA.
The international name of the tanuki cat still uses the Chinese name and pronunciation "Chinese Li HUa Mao", and since then China has its own local purebred cat.
The purebred degree of the tanuki cat ranks twelfth on the genetic list, which is also a noble bloodline. Now the price of a purebred raccoon cat on the market is about 10,000 yuan, but purebred raccoon cats are a minority after all, and many of them are of mixed blood.
Looking at the big cat that was still asleep, Luo Tong believed that it must be a purebred raccoon cat, she was so confident.
At about ten o'clock, the big cat finally woke up. As soon as it moved, Luo Xiaocheng noticed it. Luo Xiaotang "meowed" at Luo Tong, and Luo Tong followed the sound and looked over, just in line with a pair of green eyes.
The eyes of the big cat are really beautiful, green, just like the jade of Luotong's dragon stone, which is particularly clear and transparent. Luo Xiaotang's eyes are also very beautiful, but they are not green, but slightly blue.
The eyes of large cats are large and bright, almond-shaped and slightly higher than the inner corners of the eyes. Luo Tong once thought about what the eyes of a big cat looked like, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he feels that the big cat is even more beautiful.
Perhaps sensing that he had arrived in a new environment, the big cat was a little uneasy. Luo Tong squatted beside it and gently smoothed it.
According to the information, the raccoon cat is a kind of cat that is very sensitive to the environment, and its psychology is relatively delicate and sensitive, and it needs more care and love from its owner. Luo Tong hopes that the big cat can recover as soon as possible, settle down at home, and happily be with Luo Xiaotang.
