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 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.
