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 Snowshoe
The Snowshoe is a rare, medium-sized, blue-eyed cat with a sleek pointed coat, white paws, and an inverted white facial “V.” Athletic, intelligent, and vocal yet soft-spoken, it thrives on human interaction, enjoys training and active play, and is generally healthy with good care.
