CLEAR ALLKorats are a rare cat breed even in their native country of Thailand. Because of their uniquely delicate nature, they are greatly loved by Thai people who regard them as "good luck" cats. Their overall appearance is of a silver-blue coat with a heavy silver lustre, combined with a medium-sized, hard-bodied, and muscular body.
In their homeland Thailand, the Korat is recognized as the Si-Sawat cat. Their name originates with King Rama V of Siam, who questioned when presented with this beautiful cat what kind it was and was told it was from a high plateau in northeast Thailand called Korat.
This cat breed is considered a symbol of good fortune by the Thai people. Many good luck traditions feature the Korats. They are the colour of silver, meaning wealth; and they are the colour of rain clouds with eyes the shade of young rice, meaning good crops. What’s more, the gift of a pair of these Si-Sawat cats to the newlyweds is a sign of a good marriage.
The Korat is a friendly and people-oriented breed that loves being around humans. They desire companionship from their families, and because of this, the Korats do not like being left alone for long periods of time or ignored. If ignored, they will become timid and reserved. They develop a strong bond with their families and are very affectionate. Because they crave attention, you will often find Korats on the lap of their human companion.
Korats commonly get along with other animals but note that they have a tendency to become jealous when they think that other pets receive more love and attention from their families. They enjoy playing and show strong loyalty and love; that is why they are a good fit for families.
They are gentle and will never pass up snuggling on a warm lap. Still, Korats are active, playful, and intelligent. They love interactive play with their human companions and can play a fetch game for hours.
Korats love attention and like to think that they are the ones in charge. An energetic and curious cat breed, they want to discover and explore every corner of their environment. Korats can leap high to find the best place to perch, such as the top of furniture or a cupboard where they like to observe their area unobstructed.

Korats can leap high to find the best place to perch, such as the top of furniture or a cupboard where they like to observe their area unobstructed.
Korat cats are medium-sized with a slim yet muscular structure. They typically have low body fat and weigh six to ten pounds when fully grown, so they are reasonably compact. However, they are slow to mature, and many Korats don't reach full physical and emotional development until they are around five years old.
Some people refer to the Korat as "the cat with five hearts". This is because they have a distinctive heart-shaped heart and nose and a recognisable heart shape in their chests and between their front shoulders. Moreover, they have large ears, slightly tilted forwards, and round green eyes that stand out from a mile away. However, as kittens, their eyes are blue and slowly transition into a vibrant green, reaching full colour at around two years.
Unlike some other breeds, Korats can only be one colour, silver-blue. Their fur has a blue hue towards the skin and silver tips, giving a shimmering appearance. You'll see this gorgeous tone from an early age, although some Korat kittens may initially have some "ghost tabby" markings.
The Korat's coat is short and single-layered to keep them cool in the tropical heat, plus it rarely sheds. Therefore, brushing is unnecessary as they tend to maintain their coats well enough.
The Korat is exceptionally affectionate and loyal. They build deep bonds with their owners and stay by their side often. Once they establish who their family is, they are entirely devoted and won't favour your friends or neighbours over you. However, this doesn't mean they are unfriendly to strangers or will hide from your guests as they are typically happy to receive attention and pets.
They are playful and energetic and spend most of their day on the move rather than lazing around. They are incredibly smart and display impressive memories. If they have access to the outdoors, they are not likely to get lost, as many Korats prove to find their way home from somewhere they have never been before. Their street smartness most probably relates to their heritage where they lived on the streets or in colonies at temples.
Their excellent memory means they will remember their owners and come running to you even if you've been apart for a long time. So when you go on holiday, you don't have to worry that they will act aloof when you return as this is not the case with these loyal and loving felines.
Like most Thai breeds, the Korat is a chatty cat but not on the level as the Siamese. Even so, they will use their voice to let you know they are around. For example, if you allow them to go outside when they return, they will call out to you to let you know they are back. They also use their body language to tell you if they like or dislike something.
Korats highly value companionship. If they are in a home where they are left alone for a long time, they will develop separation anxiety. Thus, they will do best with someone looking for a furry best friend to hang out with regularly. Of course, this means you'll need to have plenty of time for them and be ok with them following you around and "helping" you with whatever you need to do.
If you want to ease the load, you should consider getting two Korats instead of one or another feline to keep them company. Korats are one cat breed that undoubtedly does better in pairs, especially if they grow up together from a young age.
