Summary
About Burmese
The Burmese is a medium, muscular cat with a short, satin coat in rich solid colors and large golden eyes. Affectionate and people focused, it often follows a favorite person, enjoys play and training, dislikes long solitude, and usually stays lively and social into old age.
About Cornish Rex
Cornish Rex cats are slender, fine‑boned, and elegant, with large ears and a distinctive egg‑shaped head. Their short, wavy, velvet‑soft coat needs gentle care and warmth. Extremely active, playful, affectionate, and people focused, they crave interaction, mental stimulation, and indoor living.
