China was cultivated in 1925. It is generally believed that its ancestors came from Southeast Asia. After World War II, this kind of cat was very popular in France, and was introduced to Britain, the United States and other countries in the 1960s. This kind of cat is not very popular at present, but it has won people's praise.
Portman cat's coat color is very distinctive. It is covered with long silver hair, and its face, ears, tail and limbs are all black (some are green, chocolate and violet), but the ends of its limbs are white, so some people call it "four-hoofed walking through the snow". Similar to Persian cat, it has short legs and long body, big nose and ears and dark green eyes. Cats are lively and lovely, not afraid of strangers, sometimes unfriendly to strangers, but gentle to their owners, eager for their love, and like to play with their owners or children. Portman cats grow faster and precocious, and can mate in estrus in about 7 months. Generally, there are 3 to 5 nests per nest. When the kitten was born, its whole body was white, and a few days later, dark hair began to appear. Recently, the United States bred a short-haired Portman cat named "Snowshoe Cat" or "Silver-edged Cat". , but it has not yet been recognized.
