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 Ragdoll
Large, muscular pointed cat with silky semi‑long coat and vivid blue eyes that stay blue for life. Relaxed and floppy when handled, it matures slowly, is calm, affectionate, people‑focused, and suits mainly indoor life. Coat needs regular but moderate grooming.
