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 Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is a medium, rounded cat known for its forward folded ears and owl‑like look. Calm, affectionate, and people focused, it suits many homes. Found in short or semi‑long coats in many colors, it needs gentle play, regular grooming, and careful health screening due to joint risks.
