Summary
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.
About Cymric
The Cymric is a medium, muscular, longhaired Manx-type cat, usually tailless with a rounded, rabbit-like rump and strong hind legs. It has a plush double coat, comes in many colours, is playful, intelligent, loyal, and people-oriented, but needs careful monitoring for tail and spine issues.
