The Korat is a native of Thailand, and has been revered in that country for centuries. Their bluish-silver color examplifies the exalted stature they demand, so it is no wonder they are considered a symbol of good fortune by the Thais.
Consider yourself of equal good fortune if you find yourself "owned" by a Korat. They will reward you with years of affection, loyalty, and love.
Body: Semi cobby, with a distinctive torso. Muscular and supple, while being neither compact nor svelte.
Coat: Silver-blue with a decidedly silver sheen caused by silver tipping on individual hairs.
