The Forbidden City cat is coming

🍎Jingren Palace: Long-haired cats represented by "Aobai" often appear here. They are docile and suitable for close observation. 🍑Imperial Garden: The vegetation is dense, and cats like to bask in the sun or hide here, especially near the rockery and corridor. 😺Jianting Square: There are fewer people, and cats are often seen here before closing in the evening. Viewing time 😸There are fewer visitors in the early morning when the museum opens or in the evening before closing, so cats are more likely to show up to look for food or take a walk. 😻Most of the cats in the Forbidden City are free-range, and some of them have aloof personalities. Do not forcefully pet or chase them. 😺Feeding is prohibited: cat food is managed by staff, and bringing your own food may affect your health. -😺Historical origin: Most of the cats in the Forbidden City are descendants of the imperial cats of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, a "cat room" was set up for management. Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, such as Qianlong and Cixi, were cat lovers. Their duties are symbolized by being called cat security guards. They patrol at night to prevent rats and guard wooden buildings and cultural relics. Dean Shan Jixiang praised them as "living cultural relics." 😺Cultural and creative peripherals: The Palace Museum Taobao store launches Royal Cat themed dolls. You can take the "Royal Cat" home.
