There is something that makes this breed really special. Korat lovers believe this cat is unique and, in fact, the Korat differs from other cats in many ways.

Reading through these pages, you'll find out why Korat cats are taken into a high consideration and respect by those who have been so lucky to meet them and to "be owned" by them.

Someone said: "Impossible to live with them... but impossible to live without them, too"
