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 Persian is one of the oldest and most recognizable cat breeds in the world, with roots tracing back to 17th-century Persia (modern Iran) and Turkey. This medium-to-large cat weighs 7–12 pounds and is instantly identifiable by its flat, pansy-like face, enormous round eyes, small ears, and luxuriously long, thick coat that can reach six inches in length. Persians come in over 80 color variations grouped into seven divisions, including solid, silver, golden, shaded, smoke, tabby, particolor, and pointed (Himalayan).
Persians are the quintessential lap cat — calm, sweet-tempered, and content to lounge on the nearest soft surface. They prefer serene environments and predictable routines, rarely displaying the high-energy antics of more active breeds. Gentle and patient with children, they coexist peacefully with respectful kids and laid-back dogs.
