Overview

Read the full profile

Korats are medium, compact and muscular with a short silver-tipped blue coat, a distinctive heart-shaped head from the front, and large luminous green eyes. Adults weigh about 2.5-4.5 kg.

They are intelligent, loyal and deeply affectionate, intensely bonded to their chosen people, soft-voiced, preferring calm stable environments and sensitive to noise and strangers.

Coat care is easy. The key hereditary diseases are GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis, both DNA-testable, and responsible breeders must screen. Manage weight and dental health routinely.
