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 LaPerm
The LaPerm is a medium, athletic cat with a distinctive curly coat ranging from soft waves to tight ringlets. Affectionate and people focused, it follows owners around, enjoys play and training, and suits many homes. Generally healthy and long lived, grooming is moderate and mainly involves gentle combing.
