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 Nebelung
The Nebelung is a medium, semi‑longhaired blue cat with a silky, silver‑tipped coat and vivid green eyes. Calm, loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with chosen people, prefers quiet homes, sheds little for its coat length, and enjoys gentle play, routine and thoughtful handling.
