History of the Korat Cat
The Korat cat
comes from Thailand where it enjoys a 700 year history.
The earliest picture of the Korat, called "Si-Sawat" has been
found in a book of paintings in Bangkok's National Library that
dates back all the way to 1350-1767 A.D.
The Korat has a muscular, supple body
and a heart-shaped head with a very broad space across
the eyes.
The eyes of the
Korat can be described as luminous green with great depth, although
the cat's eye color may change as the cat matures. It
can take up to four years before its green eyes can be fully
developed. The Korat comes only in the color blue, which is
a solid, silvery blue, each hair being tipped with silver (producing
a 'halo' effect).
The Korat Cat Personality
can be described as gentle. These are agile cats that
love to romp but hate loud, sudden noises. They have a calm,
sweet nature, enjoy human attention and are great with children.
Generally, Korats have an acute sense of smell, sight and hearing
and can be good hunters.
