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 Sphynx originated in Toronto, Canada, in 1966 when a domestic cat gave birth to a hairless kitten due to a natural genetic mutation. Through careful breeding with Devon Rex and other cats, the Sphynx was established as a robust breed. Weighing 6–12 pounds, this medium-sized cat is famous for its apparent hairlessness — though most Sphynx have a fine layer of peach-fuzz that gives their skin a warm, suede-like texture. Their wrinkled skin, lemon-shaped eyes, enormous ears, and pot belly give them an unmistakable extraterrestrial appearance.
Sphynx cats are extroverted clowns that crave human attention and warmth — literally, as they seek out body heat and will burrow under blankets or curl up on any available lap. They are fearless, social, and endlessly entertaining, performing acrobatic feats and greeting everyone — including strangers — with enthusiasm. They do wonderfully with children, dogs, and other cats.
