WHAT DOES KORAT CAT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Korat cat

Korat

Korats are a slate blue-grey short-haired breed of domestic cat with a small to medium build and a low percentage of body fat. Their bodies are semi-cobby, and surprisingly heavy for their size. They are intelligent, playful, active cats and form strong bonds with people. Among Korats' distinguishing characteristics are their heart-shaped heads and large green eyes. They are one of a few breeds where individuals have only one color. The Korat is a natural breed, and one of the oldest stable cat breeds. Originating in Thailand, it is named after the Nakhon Ratchasima province. In Thailand the breed is known as Si-Sawat, meaning "color of the sawat seed". They are known colloquially as the "good luck cat" and are given in pairs to newlyweds or to people who are highly esteemed, for good luck. Until recently, Korats were not sold, but only given as gifts. The modern Korats now exist due to the diligent efforts of a few breeders inside and outside of Thailand. The probable first allusion to the breed is in the Thai Tamra Maew, authored between 1350 and 1767 AD and now in the national library in Bangkok.
