Korat is an ancient domestic breed from Thailand, where it has been known for centuries under the name of Si-Sawat. In Thailand Korat is thought to bring fortune.    
       Korat is a trim medium-sized, muscular, short-haired cat with tall ears and a heart-shaped head. The luminous green eyes are usually large and prominent. The silver-blue coat is glossy and fine, lying close to the body – essentially a hot-country coat. The hairs have a delicate, silver tipping. All Korats are a slate blue/gray color.
      It is intelligent, inquisitive, gentle, active, soft-voiced, cautious, shy, powerful, reserved, calm, friendly, intuitive, swift, agile and playful. Korat males are said to be good fathers if left with their kittens.
