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 Siberian — Russia's national cat — is a natural breed that has existed in the forests of Siberia for at least 1,000 years, first appearing in Russian fairy tales and eventually standardized as a breed in the 1980s. This large, powerful cat weighs 10–20 pounds and features a triple-layered, waterproof coat that protected it through harsh Russian winters — a dense undercoat, longer middle layer, and coarse guard hairs. They come in all colors and patterns, including the stunning pointed "Neva Masquerade" variety.
Siberians are affectionate, adventurous cats with a playful, kitten-like spirit that lasts well into their senior years. They love water — don't be surprised to find one splashing in the sink or drinking from the faucet. Gentle and patient, they are excellent with children and other pets, and they possess a calm confidence that makes them unfazed by the chaos of a busy household.
