Addictional informatio
n (Wiki):
Korats are a slate blue-grey shorthair
domestic cat with a small to medium
build and a low percentage of body fat.
Their bodies are semi-cobby, and are
surprisingly heavy for their size. They
are intelligent, shy, soft-voiced,
playful, active cats and form strong
bonds with people.
Korats have several characteristics
distinguishing them as a breed. One is
its head, frequently described as "heart-shaped".
Korats are known for their relatively
large green eyes and are one of a few
breeds that have only one color.
The Korat is one of the oldest stable
cat breeds. Originating in Thailand, it
is named after the Nakhon Ratchasima
province. In Thailand it is known as
Si-Sawat, meaning "Color of the Sawat
Seed". They are known colloquially as
the "Good Luck Cat" and are given in
pairs to newlyweds or to people who are
highly esteemed, for good luck. Until
recently, Korats were not sold, but only
given as gifts. |
