Which cat breed is right for you?
The Cymric (pronounced "kim-rick") is the longhaired variety of the Manx, originating from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea where tailless cats have existed for centuries. This medium-to-large, solidly built breed weighs 8–13 pounds and is notable for its complete lack of tail — or, in some cases, a short stub — caused by a natural spinal mutation. Their semi-long, double coat is dense and plush, coming in virtually every color and pattern except pointed.
Cymrics are gentle, playful cats with a devoted, dog-like loyalty to their families — they are known to follow their owners from room to room and even come when called. They are excellent with children and other pets, and their calm yet playful nature makes them well-suited to family life. Many Cymrics are fascinated by water and enjoy watching or playing with running faucets.

The Siamese is one of the most iconic and ancient cat breeds, originating in the kingdom of Siam (now Thailand) and first documented in the Tamra Maew ("The Cat-Book Poems") dating to the 14th century. This sleek, muscular cat weighs 6–14 pounds and is immediately recognizable by its striking colorpoint pattern — a pale cream or fawn body with darker coloring on the face, ears, paws, and tail. The four traditional point colors are seal, chocolate, blue, and lilac, all paired with vivid sapphire-blue almond-shaped eyes.
Siamese cats are among the most vocal and opinionated cats in the world — they will narrate their day in a loud, distinctive raspy voice and expect you to listen. They are fiercely loyal, deeply social, and form intense bonds with their owners, often becoming a one-person cat. Intelligent and active, they need constant stimulation and do best with a companion — whether human, feline, or canine.
