The Korat is one of the oldest natural breeds and comes from Thailand. It is named after the province in which it originated, although in Thailand it is often known as Si-Sawat, which means good fortune, and they are highly prized in their homeland. One may have been entered in a British cat show in the 19th century as a Blue Siamese. They first appeared in America in the 1950’s and arrived in Great Britain from there in 1972. They are one of the few breeds that are only available in one color, in this case silvery blue.

The Korat is of medium sized and is muscular and athletic. They are very like the Russian Blue in appearance, but have a single rather than a double coat, are more rounded in shape and have peridot green rather than emerald eyes. Females are daintier than the males. The head has a characteristic heart shape when viewed from the front and is widest across the eyes. The Korat's body is strong and muscular, neither long like a Siamese nor cobby like a British Shorthair.
The Korat has a quiet, sweet nature but is very intelligent and playful. They make ideal household pets and can be devoted to their human companions. They get on extremely well with children but do prefer a quiet home as opposed to an unruly household.
