Which cat breed is right for you?
The Javanese is a longhaired variant of the Colorpoint Shorthair — carrying Siamese, Balinese, and Colorpoint genetics to produce a silky-coated cat in non-traditional point colors. This medium-sized, graceful breed weighs 5–10 pounds and has the Siamese's angular features, vivid blue eyes, and tubular body wrapped in a flowing, single-layered coat. Their point colors include red, cream, lynx (tabby), and tortoiseshell — any shade outside the traditional four Siamese colors.
Javanese cats are opinionated, highly vocal, and completely devoted to their people — inheriting the Siamese family's legendary sociability and talkativeness. They are extremely intelligent and can learn complex tricks, open doors, and figure out puzzle feeders with ease. They do well with older children and social pets, though they firmly believe they should be the household's top priority.

The Scottish Straight is the straight-eared sibling of the Scottish Fold, born in the same litters but without the ear-fold mutation. This medium-sized cat weighs 6–13 pounds and shares the Fold's round face, big eyes, and compact build — the only visible difference is the upright, normally shaped ears. They appear in all the same coat types, colors, and patterns as the Fold, from short dense coats to flowing longhair in tabby, solid, bicolor, and more.
Scottish Straights have the same sweet, mellow temperament as their folded-eared relatives — playful without being hyperactive, affectionate without being clingy. They enjoy interactive play and are known for their soft, chirpy voices. Friendly and adaptable, they do well with children, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs.
