Summary
About British Longhair
British Longhairs are sturdy, medium‑large cats with a plush semi‑long coat and round “teddy bear” look. Calm, polite, and quietly affectionate, they suit many homes. They’re moderately active, need regular grooming, and are generally healthy when bred with attention to heart, kidney, and joint care.
About Korat
The Korat is an ancient silver-blue Thai breed with a muscular, heart-shaped outline, large luminous green eyes, and a short, low-shedding coat. Quiet but people-focused, it bonds closely with one or two humans, enjoys interactive play, is highly trainable, and generally robust in health.
