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 Ragdoll
Large, muscular pointed cat with silky semi‑long coat and vivid blue eyes that stay blue for life. Relaxed and floppy when handled, it matures slowly, is calm, affectionate, people‑focused, and suits mainly indoor life. Coat needs regular but moderate grooming.
