Summary
About Australian Mist
Australian Mist cats are medium, sturdy indoor companions with a short, soft, misted or marbled coat. Calm, affectionate and people‑focused, they suit families, apartments and multi‑pet homes. They need moderate play, simple weekly grooming and routine vet care to stay healthy into old age.
About Cornish Rex
Cornish Rex cats are slender, fine‑boned, and elegant, with large ears and a distinctive egg‑shaped head. Their short, wavy, velvet‑soft coat needs gentle care and warmth. Extremely active, playful, affectionate, and people focused, they crave interaction, mental stimulation, and indoor living.
