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 Manx
The Manx is a medium, powerfully built cat best known for its little or absent tail and rounded, compact body. With strong, rabbit‑like hind legs, it loves to jump and play. Affectionate and people focused, it comes in short or semi‑long coats in many colors. Careful breeding is vital for spinal health.
