History

English name Chinchilla, the original meaning is actually the name of a chinchilla. Jinjila is the earliest pure artificial breeding, a characteristic species that has been carefully bred for many years. Today's Chinchillas feature silver tabby and smoky cat breeds (though not apparent from the outside). In fact, the ancestry of the recognized Chinchilla is difficult to verify because it was bred from many cat breeds. But the origins of the cat breed are well documented. All clues indicate that the breeding of this cat breed was actually developed by a female cat named Chinnie who was born in 1882. So it is not known whether the name "Chinchilla" is derived from Chinnie or because the breed shares some similarities with the chinchilla named Chinchilla. After the tireless efforts of breeders, the Chinchilla was first presented as an independent breed at the Crystal Palace cat show in England in 1894. One of the most successful chinchillas in history is Ms. Decies' Ch Fulmer Zaida, born in 1895. He won 17 consecutive cat show championships between the ages of 6 and 10 (1901-1905)! The current record holder is Ms. Crockmore's Snow Cloud, who won a total of 18 championships between 1948-1955 , 5 reserve winners and 1 third!
