Summary
About Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
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.
