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 Siamese
A sociable, talkative and active cat from Thailand with a long, sleek body, blue eyes and distinctive point markings. The Siamese often seeks close contact and wants to be involved in everyday family life. It needs daily companionship, play, opportunities to climb and safe places to rest. Its coat is easy to care for, while health records and a carefully planned social environment are important considerations when choosing a cat.
