Snowy Lionet effortlessly put down the arrogant Ashera cat. It ran back and squatted in front of Fina, shaking its head proudly, as if it wanted to be kissed and hugged.
The surrounding customers saw how cute Snowy Lionet was, and they all clicked their tongues in admiration. They all wanted to go over and kiss it, hug it, and hold it up high...
Fina was speechless. It would rather die than do such a shameless thing. However, Snowy Lionet was helping it after all, so it stretched out a front paw and stroked Snowy Lionet's forehead to encourage it.
"Wow! I'm so happy! Your Majesty, touch me again! Your Majesty, touch me again! " Snowy Lionet's body softened as if it had been electrocuted. It was so happy that it rolled around on the ground. Its four short legs were moving around, and it begged Fina to touch it a few more times.
Fina put on a serious face. "Get up! Rolling around on the ground in front of so many people? What's wrong with that? What about the dignity of the cat family? "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Snowy Lionet knew that it had gotten a little carried away, so it quickly got up and obediently squatted behind Fina. This was the first time that Fina had taken the initiative to touch it. It was so excited that it even forgot about the raw beef brisket. It was only thinking about how to continue to show off in front of Fina so that it could get more love...
The customers finally came to their senses. They looked at the arrogant Snowy Lionet, and then looked at the Ashera cat lying in the cage. It was completely different from before, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"What the f * ck! This white cat only meowed a few times, and it put down such a fierce Ashera cat? "
"Exactly, how did it do that?"
"This is nothing. Did you forget that the owner of this shop can teach kittens to dance? How hard can it be to deal with an Ashera cat? "
There were many different opinions, and no one could come to a conclusion.
"This white cat is so cute! I really want to hold it in my arms and play with it! "Even a tomboy was tempted, and she stared at Snowy Lionet with envy.
Hearing this, Snowy Lionet looked at her a few times, then turned its head away in disdain. I don't want you, I want a soft girl! "
Someone asked, "What breed is this white cat? A Persian cat? "
Someone next to him answered, "This is a Linqing Chausie. I also have a white cat like this at home. I still have a photo on my phone. Do you want to take a look?"
Another person laughed and said, "Your cat is definitely different from this white cat. This is a real Linqing Chausie — at least it is very close to a real Linqing Chausie. As for the one in your house, it must be a skewer of a Persian cat or an ordinary white cat."
Zhang Zian listened to this person's words and couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.
The speaker was a tall and strong man with a loud voice. He was about forty years old and was covered in dust. He wore a gray and black cotton coat and held a bunch of car keys in his hand. Although he was not as strong as Tim, he looked like a typical northern man. However, there was a cute white cartoon cat head pendant on his keychain, which made his manly Han image collapse …
The person who spoke before was not convinced and said, "You haven't even seen it. How do you know that my cat is different from this one?"
The latter replied confidently, "I don't need to see it to know. Let me ask you one question — is your cat's tail hair 15 centimeters long?"
He handed the car keys to his left hand and gestured a distance with his right thumb and index finger. "15 centimeters, that's so long. Is it? "
"This … I haven't measured it carefully …" The former stared at the 15 centimeters length in shock and was speechless.
The latter laughed and said, "According to historical records, the tail of a Linqing Chausie has a name called 'Flame Kylin Tail.' As the name suggests, the hair on the tail must be as vigorous as flames, just like the Kylin's tail in ancient murals. 15 centimeters is already the minimum standard. "
Everyone looked at Snowy Lionet's tail. The hair was long and dense, and it was as fluffy as a raging fire.
The former had already stopped comparing and put his phone back into his pocket with an embarrassed smile. He knew that his cat was definitely not a purebred Linqing Chausie, and showing it would only make him a laughing stock.
The latter said, "Chausie is a cross between an ancient Persian cat and a domestic cat in China. Some people say that it is a cross between an Angora and a domestic cat. It looks very similar to these two kinds of cats and is often confused. In fact, it is very easy to distinguish the three kinds of cats. First of all, Chausie and Persian cats have two layers of hair, one layer is the bottom hair, and the other layer is the outer long hair. Angora cats only have one layer of long hair. Second, Chausie's ears are relatively small, unlike the exaggerated big ears of Angora cats. Finally, Chausie's face is like a silver fox, and its nostrils are downward, unlike the short, flat nostrils of Persian cats. Once you know these three points, you'll be able to correctly distinguish between Persian cats, Persian cats and Angora cats. "
Zhang Zian's pet shop also sold pure white Persian cats. After comparing the two, everyone knew that this person was right, and they all gasped in admiration.
Not only these ordinary customers, even Zhang Zian nodded in agreement with this person's words. He was guessing the origin of this person. He knew so much about cats. Was he also in the same trade?
The man's tone changed, and he regretfully said, "Chausie began in the Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty, and declined in the Qing Dynasty. In modern times, there were not many Chausie left. In modern times, purebred Linqing Chausie is suspected to be extinct, and it is difficult to find its true appearance …" He pointed to Snowy Lionet, "This cat is probably the only Linqing Chausie left. Everyone, please take a look at the black line in the middle of its forehead. It looked like the legendary 'timely help'. Although ordinary white cats occasionally had dark spots on their foreheads, they were definitely not as bright and pure as this cat's. Even among the Linqing Chausie cats, it was one in a million. The hair of a high-quality Chausie can reach the ground, and the hair of the existing Chausie is not long enough. If it was in ancient times, this cat would definitely be sent to the palace as a tribute. "
These words were just nonsense to others, but Zhang Zian knew that these words implied the origin of Snowy Lionet.
Snowy Lionet was the cat in Jin Ping Mei, and Jin Ping Mei was based on the Song Dynasty. On the surface, it pretended to be based on the Song Dynasty, but in fact, it described the customs of the Ming Dynasty in detail. Many of the details had become important references for historical researchers to reproduce the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and there were dozens of related treatises. Under the pen of the author, Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Ming Dynasty were described in detail. Therefore, there was every reason to believe that although Snowy Lionet was an imaginary elfin, it should also have a prototype. Its prototype should be the Linqing Chausie that was popular in the Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, after that, the land of China was in frequent wars, and people did not have the awareness to protect their bloodlines. Purebred Linqing Chausie became fewer and fewer, and finally, like China's lop-eared cats, they were annihilated in the long river of history.
