Envy! Leopard Cat Mom Gave Birth to a Litter, Basically a Pile of "RMB"
Many people love cats, but there are many species in the cat family, including cheetah-like, cat-like, and leopard-like subspecies. There are 14 genera and 38 species in total. However, most of those suitable as pets belong to the cat subfamily. But did you know that one type of cat is not easily raised by everyone – that's the leopard cat?
A foreign pet owner posted a photo showing the leopard cat mother in his home giving birth. She had a litter of about six or seven baby leopard cats, which is really enviable!
Why is that? Because the price of leopard cat cubs is basically tens of thousands of dollars. This litter of baby leopard cats must be at least 67,000 RMB! It’s basically a bunch of people’s money. It’s clear that a high-class bloodline is still a high-class thing, and the rich still have the money.
Leopard cats, also known as copper-colored cats, originated in Asia and mainly live in high-altitude mountains and suburbs. They are the most widely distributed small cat species in Asia. Leopard cats are larger than ordinary domestic cats and look like a small leopard from a distance.
However, currently in China, due to the existence of a large number of black-hearted traders maliciously buying leopard cat skins, it has caused the number of leopard cats to decline rapidly, leading to their endangered status. Therefore, leopard cats are currently listed as a national second-level endangered wild animal.
There was a news report about a man from Yunnan who caught several leopard cat cubs near a construction site and posted photos of them selling them on his for a price of up to 30,000 yuan per cat. After being reported by netizens, he was quickly seized by the police.
Currently in China, leopard cats are listed as being legal to keep, and are now gradually being raised by some families. But because of their high price, they are not affordable for ordinary people. So it’s said that raising a leopard cat is a game for the wealthy. For example, the pet of Lu Yi’s daughter, a famous star, is a leopard cat, which is so adorable when she holds it in her arms.
