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 Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
