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 Oriental Long Hair
Oriental Longhairs are elegant, longhaired relatives of the Siamese, with slim, athletic bodies, wedge heads, and large ears. They have silky, easy‑care coats in many colors, are intelligent, playful, very vocal, people‑oriented, and thrive on active, interactive homes.
