Which cat breed is right for you?
The Cornish Rex originated in 1950 in Cornwall, England, when a curly-coated kitten named Kallibunker appeared in an otherwise normal litter on a farm. This small-to-medium breed weighs 5–10 pounds and has a distinctive greyhound-like body — arched back, tucked waist, and long, slender legs built for speed. Their coat is uniquely composed of only the soft, curly down layer — lacking the outer guard hairs and middle awn hairs that other cats possess — creating a washboard-like wave pattern.
Cornish Rex cats are energetic, acrobatic, and endlessly entertaining — they retain their kitten-like playfulness well into their senior years. They are extremely social, love to be held and handled, and will seek out the warmest lap or blanket in the house. They thrive with children and other active pets, and their clownish antics make them natural performers.

The Maine Coon is North America's oldest natural longhaired breed — originating in the rugged state of Maine, where it earned the official title of state cat in 1985. This giant breed is one of the largest domesticated cats in the world, with males weighing 13–25 pounds and females 8–14 pounds, and some individuals exceeding 40 inches in total length. Their thick, water-resistant double coat is longer on the stomach, ruff, and tail — adapted to harsh New England winters — and comes in virtually every color and pattern except pointed.
Maine Coons are famously gentle giants — sociable, intelligent, and remarkably patient with children, other cats, and dogs alike. They are playful and curious well into adulthood, often fascinated by water and known for their endearing chirping and trilling vocalizations rather than typical meowing. Their dog-like loyalty, trainability, and easygoing nature have made them consistently one of the most popular cat breeds worldwide.
