Detailed Overview

The Korat is a medium-sized domestic cat breed with origins in Thailand. The Korat is a natural breed, and one of the oldest stable cat breeds. They are highly intelligent and confident cats that can be fearless, although they are startled by loud sounds and sudden movements. Korats form strong bonds with their people and like to cuddle and stay nearby. Adult cats typically weigh 3-5 kg. With proper care, they generally live 10-15 years, with an average life expectancy of 12.5 years.

Korats are known for their active, loyal, highly intelligent and expressive nature. This breed exhibits moderate energy levels. They are particularly highly affectionate, socially oriented and intelligent.

Care for the Korat involves routine feline husbandry practices. Their grooming needs are relatively minimal with basic brushing. Cats reach full maturity around 1 years and enter senior status at approximately 11 years.

The Korat can make an excellent companion for the right household. They may be reserved with strangers and prefer familiar company. Proper socialization, environmental enrichment, and consistent care help ensure a well-adjusted and healthy companion.

As with all cats, individual personality can vary, and proper introduction to new environments and experiences during kittenhood helps develop a well-socialized adult cat.
