Korat Cats  email this discussion to a friend?

Does anyone have a Korat? I am pretty sure I have one. I say pretty sure because I'm not 100% sure he's not a Russian Blue as I believe they are similar from the pictures I've seen of both.
Does any one have either a Russian Blue or Korat who could tell me what the main differences are?My kitty is a ball of fun. He is the most active cat I've ever seen with personality plus. He's a smart as a whip and loves to leap onto my tall bookcases. He's one of the most friendly and loving cats I've ever be around.
Is it obvious that I adore him? :)

He is such a cutie!

I know he is not a russian blue - the fur doesn't look quite right and the majority of these cats have deep green eyes. I don't know anything about Korat cats. Since he should go to the vet once a year, next time you take him ask them what breed they think he is.

He is a cutie, but I suppose I mislead eveyone because he's not my cutie. LOL. I got the pic from the site korat.be He looks just like my little buddy though.

What's funny (or maybe not so funny) is that I adopted him from my vet and they haven't been able to tell me what any of my cats are. I suppose I'll have to find a breeder.

I just found some great info on the differences in the two:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cats-faq/breeds/korats/

The Russian Blue and the Korat share a great many words in common. Both are described as medium, silver-blue shorthair cats with green eyes. A Korat is generally heavier for the same size cat than a Russian Blue. Korats are stockier and a bit chunkier than Russian Blues and the Korat has rounded lines where Russian Blues have longer and straighter lines. The Korat has a single coat and the Russian Blue has dense double coat.

The Korat is gun-metal blue which is darker than the usual Russian Blue color. Both breeds have silver tipping on each hair. The Korat's eyes are a peridot green and the Russian Blue has emerald green eyes. The head structures on the two breeds are distinctly different and the personalities are very different.
