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 Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau is a rare, naturally spotted, medium‑sized cat with a muscular, athletic build and vivid green almond eyes. Loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with one person, is active, agile, and vocal in a soft, musical way, needing regular play, gentle handling, and low‑stress routines.
