About Korat Cat,Sri-sawasdee or Silver Blue

Nicknames : Penguin
Origins Alongside the Siamese,the Korat is one of the distinctive cats of Thailand, and is considered a good-luck charm in its native land.

A pair of Korats is a traditional wedding present, intended to below long life, wealth and happiness. Knor since at least the 14th century, iit is described in the Cat Book of Poems, a 16th-century manuscript of the ancient Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya. In the 20th century,

Korats captured the attention of US servicemen in Thailand, and the first examples of the breed were imported into the USA in 1959. It gained official recognition in 1966, but was not introduced into Europe until 1972

Appearance
A strikingly handsome cat with large and piercing green eyes which are round and prominent when open, but appear slanted when closed. The Korat's head is large and heart-shaped, giving it a soft appearance. The chin is firm and rounded. The ears are large with rounded tips, set on the head, giving the cat an alert expression. The Korat's body is well muscled and strong. Blue of a silvery shade is the traditionally accepted colour from in the West, although recently, odd lilac Korats have been bred in Europe, cropping up unexpectedly in litters of ordinary Korats. In the UK, these cats are officially described as the Thai Lilacs of Korat Type, following a ruling by the GCCF in 1998, although they are not yet

About Siamese Cat

Nicknames : Platoo
Although Siamese cats appear to have been bred in Ancient Siam for at least several hundred years, very little is now known about the appearance of the native Siamese cats and how the Siamese people went about breeding them. If the Thais ever had a formal Siamese breeding program, it appears to have ended before the mid-20th century (see Baker, 1951). That doesn't mean that later residents of Thailand did not sometimes own cats of the Siamese pattern, but it does mean that Siamese cats from documented, purebred Thai lineages dating back several hundred years do not longer exist. Possibly they never did. Instead, randomly bred cats carrying the Siamese mutation may have been for a few centuries merely more common in Thailand than elsewhere. Cats of many different colors and body types can be found on the streets of modern Thailand. Some have the kinked tails that were seen in the first Siamese cats imported into the West, but usually in combination with very UN-Siamese coloring.

The earliest known Siamese imports were during the 1870s, but were apparently not used for breeding. All pedigreed Siamese cats today are descended from roughly about eleven cats that were imported into England from Siam (Thailand) beginning in the 1880s. Some new blood was introduced later in the 20th century, particularly after the world wars when Siamese cats were in danger of extinction, but the original eleven were the true foundation of the pedigreed Siamese we know today.
