The Korat is one of the oldest known cat breeds, believed to have originated in Thailand (formerly known as Siam). It has a rich history and is considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
The Korat's most distinguishing feature is its single-colored, shimmering silver-blue coat. The coat is short, fine, and glossy, reflecting light and giving the cat an ethereal appearance.
Japanese Bobtails have large, oval-shaped eyes that are often striking and expressive. The eye color can vary, including shades of green, gold, or blue.
Korats are known for their sweet and gentle nature. They are loving and devoted to their human family members, forming strong bonds and seeking close companionship.
While affectionate with their loved ones, Korats can be somewhat reserved or shy around strangers. They may take some time to warm up and show their true playful and affectionate nature.
Korats are highly intelligent cats that enjoy mental stimulation. They are naturally curious and will explore their surroundings with great interest.
Korats have a moderate activity level and enjoy interactive play sessions. They appreciate having access to climbing structures and toys that challenge their agility and hunting instincts.
The Korat's short coat is easy to maintain. Regular brushing helps keep it in good condition, and they do not require extensive grooming.
Korats are known for their longevity. With proper care, they can live well into their teens and even early twenties, providing many years of companionship.
