Summary
About Cymric
The Cymric is a medium, muscular, longhaired Manx-type cat, usually tailless with a rounded, rabbit-like rump and strong hind legs. It has a plush double coat, comes in many colours, is playful, intelligent, loyal, and people-oriented, but needs careful monitoring for tail and spine issues.
About Sphynx
The Sphynx is a medium, muscular, mostly hairless cat with suede‑like skin and visible wrinkles. Highly sociable “velcro” cats, they crave constant company, play, and warmth. They need regular skin, ear, and nail cleaning and do best as indoor pets with attentive owners.
