The Cat Physiognomy Guide, Xiang Mao Jing, is one of the old texts collected in Cat Garden, a compendium of cat literature collected by Huang Han during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng (1850-1861). The original text of Xiang Mao Jing no longer exists.

Here we provide a translation of the Xiang Mao Jing excerpts from Cat Garden. Presented only for entertainment purposes. No claims are made regarding the accuracy of the claims. 😉
