         The legs of the bantam cat are very short, and it feels like the whole stomach is about to fall to the ground. The dogs are very similar, so many friends also think they are very cute when they see it, especially the short limbs, which make the dwarf cat walk very cute. Why are the legs of the dwarf cat so short? Woolen cloth?

 


        Bantams are actually genetic mutations of cats A kind of cat breed, after artificial directional breeding, it was found that its legs are shorter than normal cats, about half the length, so people think it is very cute, so they keep it for qualitative breeding. However, during the breeding process, the short-footed cat also has various genetic problems, and there is a possibility of spinal mutation disease. Therefore, we must pay great attention to the breeding process of our short-footed cat. We must strictly follow the short-footed cat. Breeding to the breed standard of the feet. For example, dwarfs need regular directional breeding with normal breed long-legged cats, so that the dwarf offspring will be healthier.

 


          There are two kinds of short-footed cats, one is called Mankikan and the other is called Napoleon. Napoleon is a long-haired dwarf breed, and Mankikan is a short-haired dwarf breed. Their breeding directions and breeding standards are also different. Among our common large associations, the CFA Cat Association does not recognize dwarf breeds. , and then TSA recognizes bantam breeds. But it is also divided into two, like Mankikan and Napoleon. The requirement of Mankikang is that each Mankikang cat can mate with the Mankikang breed, as well as with domestic cats, in order to improve its breed characteristics. Then Napoleon's words need to be crossed with Persian, so we see two cats whose breed characteristics are completely different. Most of the short-footed cats we see in the market are Mankikan, and we also have them in the arena. Napoleon is often seen.

 


          , also made the price very high. What is even more exaggerated is that the price of the bantam cat has been speculated to hundreds of thousands for a period of time. This is an artificially high price and cannot be sold. Normally, the bantam cat in our house is 20,000. You can buy a good one around here. And pay special attention to the channels of purchase, because the dwarf cat has a genetic problem, and it is likely to suffer from genetic diseases. At that time, parents will be hurt even with money and feelings.
