Your Cat's Angela Lowe recently sang the praises of the elegant Korat in August's Breed Profile."A particular feature of the breed is the size and prominence of the eyes, which are so large and bright they almost look as though they are lit from within." she writes.
"With his heart-shaped head, the Korat’s appeal does not stop there. The eyebrow ridges form the upper curves of the heart and the sides of the face curve gently down to the chin to complete the heart shape."
The attraction of the Korat, is not only down to its distinctive eyes. As Jen Lacey of the Korat Cat Association says: “They are always into what you are doing, whether it’s visiting the bathroom or sweeping the floor! If you’re doing it, it must be interesting!"
