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 Munchkin
The Munchkin is a small to medium cat with a long, sturdy body and distinctively short legs from a natural mutation. Playful, curious, and people oriented, it stays kitten like and active, enjoys training and interactive toys, and fits well into families and multi pet homes.
