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 Selkirk Rex Longhair
A calm, sociable cat with a sturdy, muscular body and a soft, long coat of loose curls. The Selkirk Rex Longhair often enjoys close contact but also needs daily play and its own places to rest. Its coat requires regular, gentle grooming. Before buying, it is important to review documented health information, particularly any family history of kidney and heart problems, as well as the individual cat’s temperament.
