The ancients mainly judged the quality of cats by their coat color, face, limbs, tail and other parts. The ancients actually also loved keeping pets, especially cats, because cats can not only catch mice, but also They are cute and docile, but when they choose cats, they don’t choose them based on the breed like we do now, but choose the cats based on many aspects. Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, someone specially compiled a book called "The Book of Cats", which contains It records in detail how the ancients chose a top-notch cat.
The first thing to look at is the cat’s coat color. The coat color is also one of the important criteria for judging the quality of a cat. The cat’s coat color must not only be smooth, but also there should be no swirls on the cat’s body, because in the ancient physiognomy Here, a cat with spins on its body will not live long, and it will also affect the owner's fortune. At the same time, such a spind cat is difficult to raise a family and difficult to tame. Then you also need to look at whether there is hair around the cat's anus. If there is, it means that the cat doesn't like to be clean and likes to run wild. After looking at the cat's coat color, the next step is to look at the cat's face and various parts of the cat's body. In ancient times, choosing a cat They don’t like cats with long faces and high noses, because the ancients believed that cats with long faces and tall noses would be aggressive, like to chase poultry, and make the family uneasy, so they would rather not keep such cats than keep them.
The cat’s ears must be thin and small. This kind of cat is smart and flexible, and it can also feed. The eyes should be big and round, and the eyes should be yellow, like pearls at night, like this Cats are the best. If a cat’s eyes are black and have tear stains, this cat is a lazy cat. A cat’s whiskers are also particular. The whiskers must be the same color. If the cat is not this kind, it means a cat that doesn’t like to be clean. It is recorded in the "Cat Phrase Sutra":
? Cats with black and white whiskers are prone to feces. Full of God's furnace.
It can be seen how annoying this kind of cat is, so for cat owners, it is indeed a tricky thing to raise such a cat that does not like to be clean.
A cat’s body parts are also one of the important criteria for judging the quality of a cat, especially the cat’s waist. If the cat’s waist is long and thin, it means that the cat is delicious and lazy, and also likes to eat everywhere. Run like a wild cat. Also, look at the cat's crawling posture. If the cat likes to expose its scratches, it means that the cat likes to turn things around, especially when going up to the house to lift tiles, which will bring a lot of trouble to the owner. In addition, there is the tail. The cat's tail should be thin and long, the voice should be loud, and the cat's mouth should have nine ridges. Only such a cat can be an expert at catching mice.
