    The American shorthair cat and the Chinese raccoon cat look very similar, and many people will not be able to distinguish clearly. Their facial features and eye color are very similar, and they can only be distinguished from two places. The first difference is that the faces of the two cats are different.

    The face of the American British short is relatively round, and it looks cute. And the face of the tanuki cat is relatively pointed, like a melon seed. The second difference is that the patterns of the two cats are different.

    Most of the beautiful short patterns are black and white, especially like tiger skin candy. The pattern of the tanuki cat is black gray sandwiched with white, and the pattern is relatively light, not as heavy as the beauty short.

    Judge by the shape of your face.

    I believe that many people know the raccoon cat, the traditional raccoon cat is the black and white raccoon flower, and the black is not pure, the black is with a little gray. The face of this tanuki cat is relatively pointed, it looks like a classical beauty, and the body lines are very smooth, and the limbs are very slender. Tanuki cats have pointed ears that are erected on both sides of their heads, with narrow spacing.

    And the beautiful short face is very round, and it looks more honest and cute, without the wit of the raccoon flower.

    Judging by the pattern.

    In fact, there are many patterns of raccoon cats, such as orange patterns or three-color patterns and cow cats. The American British short cat has fewer patterns, most of them are black and white, and the patterns look shiny. In fact, the eyes of the two are not the same, the eyes of the tanuki cat are more sharp, and the beauty short looks very gentle, like a silly white sweet.

    So you can also look at the eyes of two cats, so that you can also tell what kind of cat it is. Some cats will also be crossbred, for example, the cross between Mi Short and Pear Blossom will be more beautiful, and will combine the advantages of both.

    Summary. When buying a cat, we must do more homework, so that we can buy the right breed of cat, and we will not be deceived by cat dealers and spend ** to buy a low-cost cat. Although every cat is good-looking, this cat is not something you want to buy.
