CLEAR ALLKhao Manee means White Gem and these beautiful cats are believed to have been a favourite in the royal palaces. With one blue eye and one eye ranging from copper to yellow to green, this stunning white cat from Thailand captures your imagination.
Their heart-shaped face with high cheekbones and dazzling white coat like diamonds contradicts the mischief of these striking cats. But their dedication to their human companion will make you appreciate these smart felines and you’ll surely enjoy their company as they can entertain you with their tricks.
Khao Manee is one of the naturally occurring, ancient cat breeds from Thailand. They were quoted in the cat book of poems written in the 14th century known as the Tamra Maew.
Elegant and curious, Khao Manees make delightful feline companions. Their eyes may be blue or a mixture of one green and one blue or amber. They have been recognized to be very quiet and relaxed, making them a perfect lap companion. Khao Manee cats can also be very chatty and verbal, just like their cousins; the Siamese.
Outgoing and spirited, Khao Manees are very inquisitive and athletic cats. Highly intelligent with a curious nature, they will play fetch giddily and not think twice about exploring and discovering every corner of the house. They are very friendly and love being around people.
They are suitable for young children and other pets, including dogs. They love the company of others and do not like being left alone for long periods.

Khao Manee cats are medium-sized, weighing between 8 to 10 pounds. Their muscles are visible through their short fur, giving them an athletic look. But, on the contrary, their long legs and dainty oval paws give them an elegant appearance.
They have medium-length noses and large ears that point out to the sides. Their almond-shaped eyes have a slight upward slant, and whatever colour, they are always bright and shiny.
Their snow-white fur glistens just like their eyes and feels silky smooth. Moreover, their short, fine coat is well accustomed to hot climates. It has a minimal undercoat to keep them cool in the tropical weather.
The Khao Manee requires minimal grooming as they take care of their short coats. However, you can brush it once a week to keep it healthy and shiny. As an additional step, you may want to use a brightening shampoo made especially for white cats to keep their fur looking extra vibrant.
They have an expectant life span of 10 to 12 years, and as they are a natural breed, they are less prone to genetic issues. However, like with all white cats with blue eyes, blue-eyed Khao Manees are prone to deafness. So, if choosing a Khao Manee with aqua eyes, it's best to get them tested beforehand.
The Khao Manee have an animated personality; they are outgoing, chatty and super playful. These curious felines love to be involved in everything going on and explore every spot of the house. Because of this, you should provide plenty of cat trees and towers for them to climb. They are also very smart, so you can have fun playing fetch with them for hours.
They can be a little mischievous but in an adorable way, and they love to play interactively. They have a lot of energy, so they can play for ages before tiring out. However, when they are calm and content, these kitties will often seek out their owners to curl up beside. Quality time with their humans is essential to their well-being. The more interaction they have, the deeper they bond with their family.
Despite their naughty moments, they are good-natured cats and display a great adoration towards their owners. Domestic Khao Manee cats will be friendly with strangers, too, provided they are sufficiently socialised. If this is the case, they will likely welcome visitors at the door and lap up the attention these stunning kitties always attract.
If a Khao Manee doesn't get the level of affection they need, they will let you know about it. These white gems can be pretty vocal, like their Siamese cousins. However, they have a more attractive voice, so you will likely enjoy the regular chats. They also have a lovely deep purr that is hugely therapeutic.
Being such people cats, Khao Manees typically don't like to stay alone for too long, so they are not cats you can leave at home every day. Instead, they will be the happiest in a household where someone is regularly around to initiate play sessions and offer their lap for snuggles.
Many Khao Manee cats will accept other cats and family dogs, although this does depend on their personality. Moreover, they are friendly towards well-behaved children. They like to be the centre of attention, so if there are other pets or young kids in the household, ensure your Khao Manee still gets plenty of one-on-one time with you.

One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece.
