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 Munchkin
The Munchkin is a small to medium cat with a long, sturdy body and distinctively short legs from a natural mutation. Playful, curious, and people oriented, it stays kitten like and active, enjoys training and interactive toys, and fits well into families and multi pet homes.
