The neck is relatively short and muscular. The coat is short, thick, and stiff in texture. The personality is independent, lively, and alert. With strong rat-catching ability, it is beloved by ordinary people. It features a classic tabby pattern and red tortoiseshell markings of varying shades, both clearly visible.
