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 Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is a medium, rounded cat known for its forward folded ears and owl‑like look. Calm, affectionate, and people focused, it suits many homes. Found in short or semi‑long coats in many colors, it needs gentle play, regular grooming, and careful health screening due to joint risks.
