Physical Characteristics
With thick, short hairs, the Chinese Li Hua breed’s coat can be described as tickled or mousey, with hairs that are black at the root and brown at the tip. Black rings around the legs and tail are common to this breed. While green is the most common eye color of the Chinese Li Hua, brown and yellow are also commonly found.
Chinese Li Hua Temperament
Chinese Li Hua are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and playfulness. If you are looking for a family-friendly cat, then this breed could be a potential addition to your home, as the Chinese Li Hua are known to be great with children due to their mild manner. This breed can also pair well in a home with a cat-friendly canine. Remember to introduce a new pet slowly and with care to other members of the family, both human and furry companions.
Hunting Abilities
Known for their hunting abilities, the Chinese Li Hua makes a great vermin catcher. With amazingly quick reflexes and retrieval skills, this breed’s ability to hunt is worth noting. There is even a story of how one Chinese Li Hua cat learned how to fetch the morning newspaper!
Special Considerations
As with most breeds, there are a few things to consider before adopting/buying one of these felines. With a higher need for attention and playtime, you should make sure that you will have the time and energy to devote to this playful, engaging breed. Weekly brushing of the coat is recommended to maintain its health and shine. As with all breeds, periodontal care is also necessary to prevent disease.
