Summary
About Bengal
The Bengal is an athletic, medium‑large cat with a wild, leopard‑like spotted or marbled coat and low‑maintenance, silky fur that may glitter. Highly active, intelligent, vocal, and people‑oriented, it enjoys water, interactive play, training, and needs substantial daily mental and physical stimulation.
About British Longhair
British Longhairs are sturdy, medium‑large cats with a plush semi‑long coat and round “teddy bear” look. Calm, polite, and quietly affectionate, they suit many homes. They’re moderately active, need regular grooming, and are generally healthy when bred with attention to heart, kidney, and joint care.
