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 Siamese
A sociable, talkative and active cat from Thailand with a long, sleek body, blue eyes and distinctive point markings. The Siamese often seeks close contact and wants to be involved in everyday family life. It needs daily companionship, play, opportunities to climb and safe places to rest. Its coat is easy to care for, while health records and a carefully planned social environment are important considerations when choosing a cat.
