Linqing lion cat, also known as Shandong lion cat, is mainly produced in Linqing City, Shandong Province. Regarding their origin, There are two theories: one is a descendant of the Turkish Ankara cats that originated in Xinjiang, China; the other is that the Linqing people hybridized Persian cats and Luxi cats to create a breed that resembles a little lion. According to Linqing County Records: Lion cats are larger than usual, have long hair that touches the ground, and are as white as snow. They are valued for their mandarin duck eyes. The best ones cost 100 yuan per pair. There are many Hui people in Beijie, which makes this place a strange place. Cao Kejia, a famous cat expert, once praised: "All animals in the world have different eyes, but Linqing, Shandong Province, has cats with different eyes."
Shandong lion cats have big heads, short ears, long hair all over their bodies, and long necks. The hair on the back can be 4~5cm long, which is why it got its name. According to the coat color, it can be divided into four types: white lion cat, black lion cat, whipped hydrangea and flower lion cat.

IV. Type Identification
The biggest difference between Shandong lion cats and Persian cats is their facial shape. The facial bones of Linqing cats are similar to those of ordinary domestic cats. The eyes are not as round and big as Persian cats, the nose is still high, and the frontal bones are not obvious; as for the ears, the base of the ears is high and the body of the ear is large. After moulting, most of the hair is very short, a bit like a semi-long-haired cat. Sometimes the hair grows long, but the head and face are still easy to separate. Furthermore, their heads, hands and feet are all long and tall, and their bodies are also very long, but this feature is only noticeable after molting.
When it comes to “orthodox” Persian cats, many people think they must be white. In terms of face color alone, Persian cats have more than 30 recognized colors, such as orange, gray-blue and other single colors. And various color changes, three-color series and patterns that are a bit like domestic cats, etc. Although there are many colors, the characteristics of Persian cats in terms of bones and hair are universal:They all have shortened heads, slightly shorter furry legs and tails, and slightly thicker bones. On the surface, the movements of Persian cats seem to be very strong. This is actually because the long hair on their feet is erect and not as "particularly rough on the feet" as some books say.
The most special thing about the Persian cat is that it does not look like a cat, otherwise many Beijingers think it is "poor". A Persian cat must have a "buzzing mouth and nose" to be a top grade cat, and the minimum limit is also It should have a short nose and round eyes, the distance between the eyes is very wide, the ears are small and round, and the distance is wide. The hair on the face is much more than that of the Linqing cat. After adulthood, even after moulting, the body hair is still very soft, and there is a special feeling all over the body. With a deep undercoat, it looks like a doll when it grows up, and its "feeling" is better than anything else. The nose is small, the forehead is erect, and the forehead is low. It is very different from Linqing cats.
Persian cats have a flat face (flat face, nose is very flat), Linqing has a face like a common domestic cat, with a short snout (that is, the mouth protrudes)
