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 Tonkinese
Tonkinese are medium-sized, muscular cats combining Siamese elegance with Burmese solidity. They have silky low-maintenance coats in mink, pointed or solid patterns and striking aqua to greenish blue eyes. Affectionate, playful, social and vocal, they thrive on attention and interaction.
