Most bonded cat I have ever had

The bond my Korat has formed with me is unlike anything I have experienced with a cat. He is present and attentive in a way that feels deeply intentional. He sleeps with me, follows me through the house, and sits next to me whenever I am still. He is not clingy or anxious, just fundamentally attache…

Beautiful and healthy

My Korat has been remarkably healthy throughout her life. The breed is known for robust natural health and my experience confirms it. She has had no significant health issues in nine years. She is active, bright, and engaged. Her silver-blue coat is easy to maintain and always beautiful. A low-maint…

Quiet and serene companion

My Korat is one of the quietest cats I have owned. He vocalises occasionally but does not demand attention verbally. His communication is through presence and physical contact rather than sound. He is a calming presence in my home and has the quality of making a room feel more peaceful simply by bei…

Most beautiful eyes of any breed

Her personality is as beautiful as her appearance. She is gentle, devoted, and quietly loving. She is everything I wanted in …

Does not tolerate other cats

My Korat is wonderful with me but she has been unable to accept our other cat despite eighteen months of careful introduction. She is not aggressive but she is persistently stressed by the presence of another cat in her space. We now manage them separately which is manageable but not ideal. If you h…

Devoted to one person

My Korat is mine and tolerates the rest of my family politely but without particular warmth. He follows me specifically, sleeps on my side of the bed, and greets only my return from work with enthusiasm. He is not hostile to others, simply uninterested. For a single person or a couple where he can c…
