Summary
About Khao Manee
The Khao Manee is an ancient Thai “White Gem” cat with a pure white coat and vivid eyes, often odd‑colored. Medium, athletic and graceful, it is sociable, vocal, intelligent and playful, bonding closely with people. Still rare, breeders emphasize health, hearing tests and diversity.
About Persian
The Persian is a calm, people‑oriented pedigree cat with a compact body, flat face, and large eyes. It has a long, dense coat in many colors that needs daily grooming and eye care. Suited to quiet indoor homes, Persians are gentle, quietly affectionate, and form close bonds with their owners.
