Did you know that in ancient China, raising a cat was not easy, especially during the Tang and Song dynasties? From the beginning, choosing a cat was a detailed process, and the fact that tangling a cat was the most popular. After selecting a cat, people would give an offer letter and engagement gifts to the cat, similar to traditional marriage customs in Chinese culture. There are two types of gifts. For kittens from domesticated cats, the gifts include salt, sugar, tea leaves and sesame. For kittens from white cats, people would give some small fish to the cat's mother. Then, people would sign a cat adoption agreement, Na Mao Chi, to inform the guard, detailing the adoption date, the cat's appearance and the owner's promises to the cat.
