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 Khao Manee
The Khao Manee is an ancient Thai “White Gem” cat with a pure white coat and vivid eyes, often odd‑colored. Medium, athletic and graceful, it is sociable, vocal, intelligent and playful, bonding closely with people. Still rare, breeders emphasize health, hearing tests and diversity.
