The eyes of the korat are like those of no other cat...as sparkling as the 'dewdrops on a lotus leaf'. As newborn kittens the eyes are blue, changing to amber with a green tinge around the pupil during adolescence, and then, when the cat reaches two to four years, the eyes are luminous green.

The roots of the hair are a light bluish color, darkening before the ends become silver-tipped. Korats are silver blue from their first day to their last; a cat of any other color is not a Korat. Their coats consist of one layer, without an undercoat and is soft and close-lying.

Korats form an exceptionally strong bond of affection with their owners and respond warmly to cuddling. Korats are gentle pets, moving softly and cautiously, disliking sudden, loud or harsh noises.

Korats are considered a symbol of good luck by the Thais because according to the Thai tradition they are the color of silver, signifying wealth; they are the color of rain clouds and with eyes the color of young rice, meaning good crops. The gift of a pair of Si-Sawat cats to the bride ensures a fortunate marriage.

While I was at a cat show I received this photo from my daughter with the caption "Casey is waiting for mommy to come home". She is also waiting for the snow to melt and winter to be over. Casey is 8 years old, still Queen of the house. This photo was taken on 19 January 2019.

She is my talker, when I say her name she answers me, tells me all about everything. Casey's papa is CH Skarraghbrae J.A.T.O. of Maleza and her mama is CH Maleza Blue Sea Atea.

Artemis also relaxing on the outside cat tree, enjoying a nice warm day.
