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 Toyger — "toy tiger" — was developed beginning in 1993 by Judy Sugden in the United States, who selectively bred domestic shorthair tabbies to create a cat that resembles a miniature tiger. Weighing 7–15 pounds, this medium-to-large muscular cat features a long, low-slung body, small rounded ears, and a striking coat of bold, vertically aligned dark stripes (called "branching") on a vivid orange-tan background with a white-lightened belly — the goal being as close to a tiger's pattern as possible.
Despite their wild appearance, Toygers are easygoing, friendly cats that enjoy human company and adapt well to indoor living. They are intelligent and trainable, readily learning to walk on a leash, play fetch, and perform tricks. Social and relaxed, they do well with children and other pets, showing none of the intensity of actual wild-hybrid breeds.
