So, do you know how to choose a purebred Persian cat?
In the mixed pet market, it is easy for novices to fall into the trap when choosing purebred Persian cats. However, at this time, mastering certain purchasing skills will help you. Seems necessary. Therefore, today the editor will provide you with a "Persian Cat Selection Manual".
1. Look at the price
Before purchasing It is necessary to do market research. Nowadays, real purebred Persian cats are very expensive. Generally, the price of purebred Persian cats ranges from 4,000 to 8,000 yuan. However, since shoddy products are common in the market, you must choose a professional pet store when purchasing. At the same time, you must carefully consider the Persian cats sold along the street for 100-200 yuan, because most of these cats are off-brand Persian cats with similar appearance.
2. Look at health
When purchasing, you can properly monitor the health status of Persian cats by feeding and observing their feces. Stroking the Persian cat's bones and other methods can be used to observe the cat's reaction to the surrounding things and the development of the bones to determine whether the Persian cat is healthy.
3. Look at the head
The Persian cat’s head is relatively flat, the face is like a big disk, the forehead is relatively wide, and the overall look is short. Fat and strong. The bones of the head feel smooth and rounded when touched by hand. There should be no excessive depression or protrusion from the nose to the back of the head. Significant deformities of the skull resulting in asymmetry of the face and head are disqualifying.
4. Look at the eyes
The eyes are brightly colored, large, round and full in shape. There is enough distance between the eyes to make the entire facial expression appear sweet and cute. Eye colors are mostly orange and yellow, but blue eyes and bi-colored eyes may also appear. The purer and darker the color, the better, and the color of both eyes should be even. Narrow distance between the eyes and overhanging eyes are a fault, and cross-eyes are a disqualification.
5. Look at the nose
The nose is short, flat and wide. The depression of the nose is located between the eyes. A long and aquiline nose is a fault.
6. Look at the tail
The tail should be short, but proportional to the length of the body. The tail should not have truncation or other skeletal deformities. A squirrel tail or an uneven tail are faults.
7. Look at the coat
The coat is long and dense, with a smooth and soft texture. The thick hair outlines the plump body curves of Persian cats. Even the shoulders and front legs are covered with long hair, and the hair on the neck is more prominent, like a thick scarf. The feathers on the ears and soles of the feet are also very long. White spots on the forehead are a disqualification.
8. Look at the color
Persian cats have many colors. The original fur colors are white, blue and black. In recent years, they have appeared again. There are many kinds of coat colors, which can be roughly divided into five types: solid color, gradient color, smoke color, markings and multi-color. Among the coat colors, red and tortoiseshell are relatively rare, so Persian cats of these two colors are very precious.
9. Look at the toes
The toes are fat, round and powerful. The toes are closed together. There are 5 toes on the front paws and 4 toes on the back paws. Large spaces between toes and incorrect number of toes are disqualifications.
