They are not a widespread breed, and don’t like cold weather because of their single-coat trait.

You wouldn’t call those paws dainty when they are applied to your body at about 3AM as somecat is looking for a new place to sleep.

Korats mature slower than other cats, not being fully grown until around two years. They shed less because they have single coats and don’t have the second coat to dump in the Spring. They tend to have very muted voices, that are often describes as chirps, rather than meows.

The breed originated around the Korat area of Thailand, and we have a lot of Thais who live in the area. We also have military personal who were stationed in Thailand, so there are a lot of local connections that explain the presence of a rather exotic breed in our feral cat population.

Just hold the thought that in the end you will have two nice cats who will enrich your life.

It is kind of comical watching Ringo boss the “kids” around, it is almost as if they don’t realize that mom is smaller than they are.
