Summary
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.
About Tonkinese
Tonkinese are medium-sized, muscular cats combining Siamese elegance with Burmese solidity. They have silky low-maintenance coats in mink, pointed or solid patterns and striking aqua to greenish blue eyes. Affectionate, playful, social and vocal, they thrive on attention and interaction.
