Also known as Vietnamese cats, they are not a native Vietnamese cat, but a purebred shorthair crossed from Siamese and Burmese cats. The Eastern Chinchilla is a breed that emerged in the 1930s, and the first Eastern Chinchilla was born in North America. Those who love the East Chinchilla have the American named Thompson to thank for bringing a Siamese cat to Canada and crossing it with a Burmese cat to bring the East Chinchilla into the world.

Since the East Chinchilla is a cross between a Siamese cat and a Burmese cat, East Chinchillas also have accent colors like Siamese cats, but their accent colors are not as obvious as those of Siamese cats, and this can clearly distinguish East Chinchillas from Siamese cats. Also, because they are descendants of Burmese cats, they have short, soft, smooth, and shiny coats like Burmese cats.

If you have an Eastern Chinchilla, you don't have to worry about bored guests, because Eastern Chinchillas are very friendly and even hospitable to guests. When the owner is busy preparing food for the guests or doing other things, you can let the cat help you to "receive" the guests. Eastern Chinchillas are currently the most popular in the Americas and are not very common elsewhere, so it can be difficult for people in China to get an Eastern Chinchilla. Although born as early as the 1930s, the Eastern Chinchilla was really recognized and widely accepted in the 1970s. After continuous breeding, the Eastern Chinchilla has its own unique form, and with its affectionate, affectionate personality, they quickly became popular in the United States and Canada. Five colors - the coat on the body is warm brown with dark chocolate accents; the coat on the body is slightly blue-gray with light blue or dark blue accents; the coat on the body is reddish brown with chocolate accents; the coat on the body is beige with light brown accents; and the coat on the body is light gray with dark gray accents.

Although the Eastern Chinchilla inherits some of the characteristics of the Siamese and Burmese cats, it has undergone some changes based on them and formed its own unique character. It is important to note that people usually cannot tell what the East Chinchilla will look like when they are small, and their coat color and other character traits are usually not determined until the cat is about one and a half years old, so it is important to pay attention to this when buying an East Chinchilla. Many people ask if cats will not get close to their owners when they are picked up after they are over a year old. On this issue, you don't have to worry at all because East Chinchilla cats don't take the high road, they are very dear cats. East Chinchillas are a very affectionate cat, which is their biggest advantage, but this advantage can also bring them troubles, because the overly affectionate personality causes East Chinchillas to easily encounter danger. Therefore, in the process of breeding, owners must take good care of their cats and do not let them come into contact with strangers, otherwise, if any accident occurs, the owner will regret it too late.

 A healthy Eastern Chinchilla cat should still be energetic, they will not lazily stay in one place and do not move. If you have an Eastern Chinchilla cat, you will find that they like to walk around and explore the world by the way. So a few days after a cat is brought home, they will know every corner of the home like the back of their hand. Of course there are some places that are best left untouched by cats, so owners should not let them set foot on that land just to satisfy their curiosity.

The owner can play games with the cat in the daily care, which not only can meet the cat's daily exercise needs and enhance the cat's physical fitness, but also can cultivate the relationship between the owner and the cat. Owners can also prepare a cat climbing frame and some toys at home, so that even if the owner is not at home, the cat can find its own fun to pass the time.

In addition to getting along with their owners, Eastern Chinchillas can also warm up quickly with dogs or other cats in the house. If there are multiple pets in the house, owners do not need to worry about the pets getting along. However, if the owner is very busy at work and cannot find time to spend with the Eastern Chinchilla every day, then this is not beneficial to the cat's physical and mental health at all. Eastern Chinchillas are afraid of being alone, so they are not suitable to be kept by people who are busy at work.

In addition, compared to their ancestor, the Siamese, the Eastern Chinchilla is not as possessive. For example, while Siamese cats may hog food and toys and not let their owners touch them, Eastern Chinchillas are rarely in this situation and are still willing to share anything with you as long as they are properly trained.
