Fur cat. Choosing a jungle cat fur coat: recommendations from stylists
And the cat has four legs,
She has a long tail behind her,
But you couldn't touch her, you couldn't
For her small stature, small stature.
Greetings to readers and visitors of the cat blog, who, I sincerely hope, absolutely love these creatures with tails, ears and four legs. And the cats in their lives are not pets, but family members or close friends. However, there are many who are on the other side. I apologize in advance to the reader if my further lines seem unnecessarily rude or offend someone’s interests or feelings. But emotions, filled with evil, heartfelt hatred, overwhelm me. Sorry in advance again.
Nothing boded ill when watching the next “episode” of the “Time” program on Channel One, until we started talking about fashion trends in the category of women’s fur coats made of natural fur. The report touched on the topic that there are many counterfeits of this popular (in women's circles) product. As they say, demand creates supply. But bad luck, the birth rate of mustelids and other unfortunate owners of valuable furs cannot, with their mortality, satisfy everyone who wants to wear their scalps. What to do? Here's what.
Next, a video was presented so that viewers would no longer have any doubts about who the fur coats were made from. At this point my jaw and chest dropped off! I assumed that I would hardly show anything good here. But so that cats are allowed to wear fur coats??? Simple pet Murkas, Museks and Barsiks!!!
As always, the guys from the Celestial Empire are ahead of the curve. In general, these comrades are not characterized by mental doubts and pangs of conscience. Even the laws do not have a clause on animal protection. Why, because half of Chinese traditional medicine relies on these animals. I don’t know if it’s a panda’s liver or something similar, but the fact that the owner of this liver is alive and doesn’t really want to part with his organs doesn’t bother Asians much.
Now we've gotten to the cats. They skinned all wild animals that had even a hint of a fur coat. We've run out. What to do. Wow, a cat and a dog! This is a fur coat, yuan! Forward! They catch their cats. Few! More, more cats. There are many cats in Russia.
The stories of those who have visited Primorye are similar to terrible fables, when the owners of the houses do not let dogs and cats out of the gates, otherwise, not even five minutes will pass before they are caught in a skin factory. It has gotten to the point where gangs of invaders quickly get into the yard, kill the dogs and cats there, and throw them over the fence to their accomplices. Then, as in the video, they go to the factory in bags and cages. There they will quickly skin Murka. Admire it.
No. I still can’t wrap my head around the question: “Is there a limit to human greed, meanness and cruelty?” I understand if you need to feed your children. Livestock and poultry are raised for these purposes. Well, here it is. They just give a lot of money for someone’s organ (horn, liver, kidney, skin). What if the owner (even an animal) of this organ is alive? No problem. We need to KILL him and remove this organ. And I want more and more money. And for this, for the sake of skins, for the sake of rhinoceros horns, for the sake of elephant tusks and other creatures that had the misfortune of being too beautiful and possessing valuable properties, people are ready to bring hecatombs until not a single creature remains alive.
How many species of animals have disappeared from the face of the planet just because their representatives had beautiful skins? How many more will disappear?
That's interesting. If they will give good money for a person’s skin, why not skin people and sew purses from them or cover seats in cars. A? This idea appealed to the guys from die Waffen-SS, who stretched leather from Jews onto lampshades and made handbags. And if the poor fellow also had a tattoo, then such Jewish skin was valued more highly.
As it turned out later, the Nazis of the Third Reich turned out to be monsters and cruel killers. And the Asians who skin thousands of domestic cats alive are normal guys. Well, these are not people, these are JUST cats.
The law protects people; human life is valued above all else on this planet. God forbid you hit a person or hurt him on purpose! Geneva will tear the offender to pieces and rot forever in prison. What about the cat? If this Chinese is flayed, then it is quite possible to end up behind bars as a bloody maniac. What will happen to this gentleman who skins cats? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN! NOTHING AT ALL! Well, maybe they will say, ah-ah-ah, how bad.
You shouldn't fly so high. Remember who this person is? This is a monkey. Dirty, angry, smelly and aggressive monkey. Man is an ordinary animal made of blood and flesh. Phylum – chordates, class – mammals, order – primates, family – hominids, genus – Homo sapiens. Is he reasonable? The last classifier is very doubtful.
And then theologians are chatting about some soul. What soul? What are you speaking about? Just don’t say that not all people are the same. It is not necessary for many to be brought to the very edge for them to sell their conscience, not to mention everything else.
Complete impunity has turned us into those creatures from the TV screen. We can do anything. We are omnipotent! You can kill other living creatures just for fun, you can turn the insides of the earth inside out in search of radiation to destroy your own kind - anything is possible. And when we run out of cats and dogs, we will find others to destroy.
If everything that is happening on the planet, what is shown on this damn box, is all true, and these are normal people, then I am ashamed to belong to the human race. Call me whatever you want, just not a human.

The unique color is what makes the jungle cat’s fur look stylish and catchy. This is why it is valued despite its fragility and inability to provide warmth in severe frost.
Outerwear such as a jungle cat fur coat is more fashionable than practical.
In any case she not intended for daily travel on public transport. Products made from the fur of this animal are rare, and their range is small. You should only purchase them in specialized stores to avoid buying a fake from an ordinary cat.
What kind of animal is a jungle cat?
The jungle cat is a predatory mammal of the cat family, 2-3 times larger than an ordinary cat (a little more than a meter - body length, weight - 8-15 kg). Also called marsh lynx for its resemblance to the fur of this predator. Lives in Asia, Indochina, Transcaucasia, the coast of the Caspian Sea to the mouth of the Volga, in North Ossetia and Dagestan. Prefers to settle in flat areas, near rivers, lakes and seas. Loves to splash in the water and cannot stand the cold. However, its fur is exceptionally warm and velvety to the touch.

The coloring of different subspecies of the jungle cat is different, the most common is gray-brownish, with a red or olive tint. On a light or golden background there are darker spots, similar to leopard spots, only slightly smaller. In summer, the fur is lighter and shorter; in winter, the pile is much longer and fluffier.
The natural habitat of jungle cats is being actively destroyed - forests are cut down and water bodies are polluted. This led to a significant decrease in the number of animals. The jungle cat is listed in the Red Book, industrial catching of animals is not carried out. Their skins are obtained by chance, so the fur industry cannot offer a particularly large selection of product colors. The fur of a jungle cat is rare and luxurious.
Features of fur
The jungle cat's fur is soft, light, shiny, with long, delicate bristles.. It lends itself well to coloring, but is used in its natural form, since it is valued precisely for its pattern. The fur has a characteristic spotted predatory pattern, individual for each skin.
In cold weather, a jungle cat fur coat will not keep you warm– therefore it is suitable for warm winters or the autumn-spring period, and it is short-lived. In places of intense external influence, fur tends to fray and wrinkle easily.
But the fur of the swamp lynx has windproof properties and does not become electrified. The pile is very elastic. The fur itself is hygroscopic and breathable, which avoids the “greenhouse effect” when wearing a fur coat.
This is an expensive, elite version of outerwear. There are winter and summer fur. The Summer is shorter-haired and rougher to the touch. That's why winter fur - soft and long - is valued more highly. The skins of animals living in different regions vary in shades. The colors of the products are always exclusive, since it is impossible to find two identical skins.
Models of jungle cat fur coats
Most of the models are characterized by a simple silhouette and laconic style. Due to the rarity of this fur, shortened models of “autolady” fur coats, vests and sleeveless vests are popular.
Spotted fur looks good on any figure, fits perfectly, and looks beautiful in fitted models.
Vests with leather sleeves are not uncommon. In addition to shortened ones, models of classic cut are sewn.
Designers consider swamp lynx fur to be extravagant; most often it is used to make short, dynamic youth-looking models. Overall, the pattern of this fur is striking in itself. Therefore, products made from it are predominantly distinguished by their simplicity of cut. Reed cat fur coats are characterized by the presence of both hoods of various cuts and a simple English collar.
How much does a fur coat cost?
The cost of fur is quite high due to its rarity. The product becomes more expensive when combined with the furs of other animals. The price of a reed cat fur coat exceeds the price of mink and starts from 70 thousand rubles. An excessively low cost should raise red flags, since rare fur cannot be cheap.
Combination with other types of fur
Swamp lynx fur goes well with other types of fur. Among the most successful combinations for it:
Silver fox;
Finishing, as a rule, goes to the collar and cuffs, making them voluminous and giving a luxurious look to the entire product.
How to choose and what to wear with a jungle cat fur coat
Before choosing a style, you should decide on the frequency of wearing. For everyday wear, a short fur coat or fur jacket is better. For exits and special occasions, you can purchase an extended model.
It's worth remembering that Jungle cat skins wrinkle easily, therefore, a fur product must be chosen taking into account your own temperament. The selected product must be carefully examined, bend the flap of the fur coat in half, check the interior for damage, and feel the pile. In general, choosing a product made from swamp lynx includes the same points as choosing any other fur:
No pungent odors - only a weak, barely perceptible smell of natural fur;
The pile crushed with the palm of your hand should restore its original shape almost instantly;
The fur is elastic, durable;
There should be no creaking or crunching sound when bending and crushing.
The reverse side of the leather has a light pastel shade. Models sewn from small pieces are a bad choice. Such products quickly deteriorate and tear, their appearance is lost.
If you have any doubts, it is better to refrain from purchasing. It is preferable to buy fur products in trusted places, where the sale of cheaper fur under the guise of jungle cat or artificial fakes is excluded.
Spectacular fur look does not require additional decorations or flashy accessories. Swamp lynx fur coats look stylish with strict plain clothes and classic shoes. Suede and matte leather of muted colors and nubuck look good in combination with fur. The selection of clothes, shoes, and accessories is carried out taking into account the balance with the fur texture and luxurious, bright patterns.
Cropped vests and jackets look good with tapered trousers or jeans, looks good with low-heeled ankle boots or narrow boots made of matte leather, and suede accessories.
An “autolady” fur coat with a collar or hood and a belt at the waist goes well with trousers and boots. A tailored skirt with classic shoes will do. Leather gloves and a matching tote bag - or a large clutch for documents - complement the look well.
A classic long fur coat with a collar and no trim looks good with narrow boots without trim or low ankle boots. You can complement the look with leather gloves and a bag to match the shoes. This fur coat complements evening wear well.
Non-standard models trimmed with other types of fur look textured with bags and boots made of red, cherry or brown leather.
Many connoisseurs of natural fur strive to stand out among all the owners of mink and mouton coats. A great way to do this as effectively as possible would be a fashionable item made from jungle cat fur. This animal is extremely rare in nature, its numbers are strictly regulated, so a fur coat made from such fur is guaranteed to be exclusive.
Due to its unique color, the jungle cat is sometimes also called the swamp lynx. A third name is also common - lippi. The jungle cat is usually three times larger than domestic cats: the animal’s body reaches a meter in length and weighs fifteen kilograms.
Features and benefits of fur
The color of the jungle cat's skin is rightfully considered one of the most unique and elegant: short-haired spotted fur gently shimmers both in sunlight and in artificial light. Lippi fur is distinguished by a medium-width core; it is not prone to stretching and rubbing even with daily use - provided that the fur coat made from it is worn carefully and stored correctly.
Unlike many other types of fur, both summer and winter jungle cat skins are used to make fur coats. The latter produce darker items, which is explained by the soft and long pile of fur in which these animals meet the winter. This type of fur is much more valuable than the short summer variety, which is rougher to the touch.
Models
Despite the scarcity of jungle cat fur, The range of fur coats made from it is expanding every year. The main styles can be divided into several categories:
- Classic. The “floor-length” option, which is common for fur coats made from other types of fur and is not burdened with decorative trim, does not include a hood;
- Autolady. The fitted style, which has already become a modern classic for active independent ladies, is considered the optimal solution for those women who never spend a day without driving. There are models with and without a hood; a belt at the waist is appropriate and recommended, emphasizing the waistline;
- Medium length fur coat. The most common version, ankle or mid-calf length, is often equipped with decorative elements made of raccoon or arctic fox fur;
- Transformer. The central part of such a fur coat is usually sewn from lippie fur, but the detachable sleeves can be either leather or made from the fur of other animals;
- Jacket. A youth model that exists in versions with both a hood and an English collar, not overloaded with trim.
Considering the rarity and value of jungle cat fur, it is not surprising that the shortened models of fur coats for which it is used are the most widely used on the market. Firstly, their production requires a smaller amount of scarce skins, and secondly, this significantly reduces the cost of the finished product. Vests and coats made from swamp lynx fur are also deservedly popular.
Warmer coats, suitable for showing off on the coldest days, are made from the winter fur of the jungle cat.
Stylists remind fashionistas who are looking for an exclusive model of a fur coat made from this fur that long models will not be appropriate while driving a car or on public transport. Active ladies whose day includes many trips will be more suitable for practical variations: a car lady or a fur coat-jacket.
Color
The color of a jungle cat's coat directly depends on the area in which it lives. The fur can be red, olive, brown and even grayish-brown. Whatever color the skin has, its pattern will be truly unique: no two are alike in nature. The fact is that the shades of the pile on different areas of the skins are different.
This gives fur coat creators the opportunity to create a palette with original color tints and transitions. It is safe to say that each fur coat, sewn from jungle cat fur, is similar to other copies in style, but unique in color scheme.
Swamp lynx fur tolerates dyeing well, but designers prefer not to deprive this exclusive fur of its unique, pristine color - the spotted texture looks luxurious even without dyeing.
The rarity of the jungle cat is, in a sense, compensated by the fact that its fur combines perfectly with other furs. Among the most desirable “neighbors” the creators of fur coats name arctic fox and mink fur, as well as the silver fox.
How to choose?
Despite the unique features of jungle cat fur, fur coats made from it should be chosen in the same way as products made from other types of fur:
- fur slightly pressed with the palm of your hand should almost immediately restore its original shape;
- when trying to bend or wrinkle a fur coat, the fur should not produce a creaking or crunching noise;
- the new product should not emit any strong odors; the only acceptable aroma is the natural, subtle smell of fur.
Experts advise purchasing items made from jungle cat in trusted places where there is no risk of stumbling upon a fake or low-quality fur coat, and professional consultants will help you choose the right model.
How to store?
The delicate structure of the jungle cat's fur can become worn out and wrinkled if stored carelessly. To avoid this, you should hang your fur coat on wide hangers and provide free space around it. A hanging fur coat should not touch other things in the closet.
Before placing a fur coat made of such fur for long-term storage until the next season, it must be thoroughly dried in a dark and well-ventilated room. After drying, the fur coat is gently shaken and placed in a suitable case - ideally, this should be the “original” case that came with the fur product.
