The Korat cat is not only one of the oldest natural domestic cat breeds; it is also a very unique breed. One prominent thing about the breed is certainly it's appearance. Unlike most cat breeds whose heads are wedge-shaped, that of a Korat cat is heart-shaped. Indeed, most proud Korat cat owners point out that the Korat is the only cat with three hearts; one visible when the cat is viewed from the front, the other visible when the cat's head is viewed from above and the actual heart inside the cat's body. The other unique thing about Korat cat is its coat. A pure-bred Korat cat has a single coat with short hair that is very easy to groom. The hair is however unusual. All pre-bred Korats have hair in the same colour; silver-tipped blue. The Korat also happens to be one of the very few natural cat breeds whose traditional characteristics and behaviour have not been altered in any way through breeding programs. The uniqueness in this breed is one of reasons why many homeowners, families and cat lovers decide to buy the Korat cat. In addition to it's uniqueness, the cat also has a very good character and temperament, which makes it one of the best indoor cats anyone can have at home as a pet. It is indeed not surprising that the breed's popularity that has remained low over the years is fast rising right across the world. I happen to have had parents who were very fond of cats, to a point where they kept different cat breeds at any given time. Our home was similar to a cattery. The experience of living with such diverse cat breeds, as I now realize, was very beneficial. Not only did I become fond of cats, I have gone a step further and ventured into breeding and showing cats.
