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.

A picture of our little girl, Casey, on one of the cat trees. She is very full of energy but once in awhile stops long enough for me to get a photo, or two. Casey was one year old on September 25th, 2011. She is from Maleza Cattery and we love having her for one of our new Queens here at Mistyblue. This photo was snapped on 22 October 2011.

Here is a picture of our most recent domestic short hair, Hemingway. He is being a little silly for me. He's a sweet boy but also has a mind of his own, especially when it comes to nail clipping, he absolutely hates it, but he does have some extra claws on both front paws so takes a bit longer to get them all.

A Christmas picture of our Balki and Casey. Balki is our altered boy, 8 months here and Casey, 14 months, she is our little future Queen. They sat so pretty for this pic they deserve a christmas cat gift, Santa Paws may just bring them a treat. Balki, Casey, and all our other kitties wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Mistyblue Cattery. This photo was snapped at the Christmas City Cat Club show at Easton, PA on December 3rd 2011.

A picture of the latest addition to our Cattery here at Mistyblue. She is from Maleza Cattery and was born on 25 Sept. 2010. Her registered name is Maleza Galena of Mistyblue and her everyday name is Casey. She is a typical Korat kitten, into everything but also so very sweet when she looks at me and gives me that little tiny "meow". She likes attention from her human family, likes to be held, when she chooses to be held, and brings back her toy to be thrown again and again, she loves chasing after it. This pic was snapped on 5 Feb 2011.   © photo by Helmi

Another picture of the new girl with our own SGC Mistyblue Artemis. They are getting along now, at first we heard some hissing and growling but that was expected, bringing a new little one into the house. The kitten's papa is CH Skarraghbrae J.A.T.O. of Maleza and her mama is CH Maleza Blue Sea Atea.

Here is an updated picture of Mistyblue Artemis taken on 5 Feb 2011 at the Reading, PA cat show. Artemis is our most laid back Korat, she is not an outgoing girl at the shows, she would rather be home. She's sweet, gets along with the other kitties in our house. Artemis did not care for the photo session, unlike her friend, Galena, who was a little ham.

Another picture of Galena taken by HelmiFlick at the Reading, PA cat show. This is one of my favorite photos. She was very co-oprative with the picture taking session and so at ease she decided to stretch out. She would go right in the middle of the setting and then sit down as though she was saying "Okay, I'm ready", she was entertaining us. Unfortuanately, she did not like being shown and very loudly let us, the judges and everyone in the show hall know.

Here we see a picture of our Mistyblue Niobe aka Whimsy with her litter of one. This boy was born on 11 March 2011. He is a typical little Korat kitten except no sibs to play with. He seems like he will be a laid back guy and a very handsome one at that. This pic was taken on 13 April 2011. Niobe is very protective of her boy and just as proud as she can be. Papa is Mistyblue Niran of Koratopia.

A picture of our GC Mysticblue Niobe aka Whimsy. She is an adventurous girl, very independent with definitely a mind of her own. Every now and then she tries to be top cat over her mom, but Neubi puts her in her place. She loves to play, loves her people and is one of our sweethearts. Her birtdate is 24 April 2008. Her mom is CH Motrac's Angel of Honeygraham aka Neubi and her dad is our own CH Honeygraham Obi-Wan. This picture was taken on 19 December 2009. Niobe is Best of Breed Korat and Best of Color Class Korat for the CFA show season 2009-2010.

A picture of CH Mysticblue Artemis(cfa) SGC Mistyblue Artemis(tica) taken during the Parma Ohio show by photographer St. Arnaud. She didn't care much for being photographed, she is a bit shy, but very sweet. She kept trying to escape but failed to stop this beautiful photo of her being snapped on 17 January 2010. Artemis is Second Best of Breed Korat and Best of Breed Kitten Korat for the CFA show season 2009-2010.
