Which cat breed is right for you?
The Minskin is a relatively new breed developed in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 1990s by crossing Munchkin, Sphynx, Burmese, and Devon Rex cats. This tiny, short-legged cat typically weighs just 4–6 pounds and stands only a few inches tall. The Minskin's most striking feature is its unique coat — sparse and fine on the body with denser "fur points" on the face, ears, legs, and tail, giving it a cashmere-like texture.
Minskins are outgoing, affectionate little cats that thrive on human interaction and hate being left alone. They are surprisingly agile despite their short legs and love to climb, explore, and play well into adulthood. Their social nature makes them excellent companions for families with children and other pets.

The Oriental Shorthair emerged in the 1950s and 1960s when British breeders crossed Siamese cats with Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, and Abyssinians to create a Siamese-type cat in a rainbow of non-pointed colors. Sleek and angular at 6–12 pounds, this breed has a wedge-shaped head, strikingly large ears, vivid green eyes (or blue in white coats), and a short, fine, glossy coat in over 300 color-and-pattern combinations — more than any other cat breed.
Oriental Shorthairs are among the most extroverted and opinionated cats in existence — they will tell you exactly what they think in a loud, distinctive voice. Fiercely loyal, they bond tightly to their humans and follow them everywhere, including into the shower. They are athletic, curious, and endlessly entertaining, making them ideal for active households with children and other social pets.
