I actually believe that Russian blue cats are originated from Korat cat because King Chulalongkorn of Siam was a good friend to czar Nicholas I of Russia and their royal families had close friendships. Both cats have short hairs which are unlikely belonging to a cold country. Moreover the Russian blues became world-widely known just lately after czar Nicholas I's reign.
Very simple explanation. Many photos and especially videos in RUclips are full of mistakes. Russian Blues, Korats, British Short Hairs and even Mixed Breeds are happily mixed with each other. I have had Russian Blue cats (or Russkies as we call them) for 22 years and several litters. The young ones have beautiful BLUE eyes which turn green during the first 6 months of their life. In real life you can easily distinguish a Russian Blue from Korat. Even their body language is different. Russian Blue appeared "officially" in the court of Elisabeth of Russia, about 100 years BEFORE Nicholas I. I am sure that the king of Siam and Nicholas I were good friends, but it does not explain things that took place over 100 years before their time.
I still don't know what the hell cat we had. She could have been either, or a mixed breed. Her fur did start to go brownish as she got older though, around 14 years. But she was such a loyal pet. I miss her.
My 2mo baby girl Yodi is such a sweet Russian blue. She gets along sooo well with my moms 6mo calico. They're so fun to watch play together. My moms calico Chiquita is super attached to me so it didnt take long for Yodi to come around me more so because she clicked with chiquita almost right away. Its cute they're like little sisters now. 😊
I have a female Korat cat and a male Russian Blue. She is the boss and queen of the house, and she loves being with me. She doesn't like it when I go to work. He is much more independent and he loves to eat and eat. They have a son who I don't know what race she is. I would say she has more Russian descent than Korat.
I love my Korat… basically a dog that meows. I cannot express the level of intelligence they have, from playing to time management… if you lack in time management skills they will teach you how to. This video does a good job explaining the korats personality but if you are lucky enough to know someone who has one there is so much more to them. To find one in the USA you would probably have better luck finding a meteor that fell in the middle of an Arizona desert 20 years ago than to find one. But if you do consider yourself blessed.
Well I'm in Michigan and a Korat just happened to make a home for itself in my backyard. It's been around for almost a week now, especially after feeding it. I've been researching to find out what breed it might be and all it's features points to the Korat.
Mine is a very big boy 19.5 lbs. And not fat. He is very affectionate great lap warmer on cool evenings. Indoor and outdoor cat great mouser. Follows me into the woods for walks and hangs close as I work on projects outdoors. Yup he's a handsome devil he makes the girls swoon 😊
My boy doesn't avoid strangers he's always curious about strangers! I tell him he's a God cat he loves this! He is the ruler! He talks a lot! He follows me everywhere! He's a bit jealous! He doesn't tolerate dominate animals! His father was a purebred who didn't care about mating with another korat! Training was no problem he loves treats! As a preemie I have to watch his weight! No puzzle toys as he was abused for the first 5 weeks of life so building trust was the main agenda! My boy I don't play much due to my mobility issues! His sister died from a neuro paralysis disease she didn't get this till 7half years! Hope my boy lives as long as a blue!

У нас кот,тоже породы корат,зовут его Коко. Знакомые путают его с русской голубой породой,только когда узнают его ближе,просто влюбляются в эту породу и уже приходят с подарками к нашему коту. Тоже ищут эту породу,чтоб приобрести. Скажу два слова о своем коте,умничка с золотыми глазами,чистоплотный и очень гордый. Спасибо за видео.
We had the fortune of having a Korat cat in our neighborhood approach us and want to be our friend and be in our household. He is smitten with our girl Bonnie but her counterpart Clyde well let's say hes a little aggravated. He's a very vocal boy who tells you what he wants. He's a Big Snuggle Bunny that was a stray and now has a home. With a mouth That won't quit! 😼😼😼
My father was from Korat but our family live in Bangkok. When I was a kid I visited my aunt at Korat. She's got 4 Korat cats and it's really lovely I remember I played with it all day. A really good memory.
KORAT CATS ARE REAL ANGELS! Intelligent, can read, sweet, calm, clean, loyal , playful , curious and civilized! The real KORAT breed has a beautiful short hair velvet silk Blue grey silver fur. They have a heart shape face and a real heart! REAL LIFESAVERS SUPERHERO ❤
My boy is half blue half korat! He looks acts just like a korat! He does hate change! So has a few blue qualities! Hoping he lives for 20 years he'll be 8 this mth!
We got a Russian blue here and Korat . We had our Korat cat for 16yrs died two yrs ago and still missing him everyday. We got Russian blue bcos thats the closest looking like Korat and he is amazing beautiful cat. Korat is a king of our house before he was the boss and always be
Compared to many cat articles I have read your information for the 2 breeds is backwards about the hair color, face shape, etc and so now I am super confused. If everyone's right, they're basically the same. 🤷🏻♀️
@@dimwitweed420 I like to think my boy is from a royal line of Russian Tsars. But he is little chunky and muscular to be russian. I love him no matter what he is!
@christineribone9351 What matters is you love him for what he is, and you're actually not bothered whether it's Russian or Thai breed. Proud of you, Mate! Take care of each other! ⛓️💜🖤⛓️
Я из России. Я приютила маленького котенка, которого раздавала женщина в переходе. Я тогда даже не подозревала что это корат. Он был послан Богом, не иначе. Мой кот умер неделю назад и многие оплакивают его вместе с нами. Он необычайно прекрасен🤍💕
My Koran Queen decided that she needs a new home, so I worked over time with her since she owns her own business 😂 She bought a Coop and she is very happy to have me as a butler in the house anything she demands she gets it 🤣
@@animaldigest thank you for the kind words. I adopted her as a young kitten in 2007 & your video provides unexpected comfort that her lifespan - hopefully - was not unnaturally short. I know lifespans can vary, yet in my experience -- your video gets a lot correct. No health problems or complications. Then, about three months into year fifteen -- she seemed noticeably ill for the first time & passed away that same day. Sorry. Not here to spread sadness. I consider myself very fortunate to have many 'live photos' wherein we're both having a good time.

Important for LMK
I've owned one of each and fascinated by similarities and differences, or should I say I owned a Russian blue but a korat owns me
I don't know about the Korat but the Russian Blue has a very dense wooly undercoat which would help with the cold weather.
Possibly
Literally cannot tell the difference. Some photos of korat look like Russian blues in this video and vice versa.

My 4 year old korat is not all that active unless it comes to food. She is pretty intelligent, I can tell by her stare. She is definitely the ruler 😄
Thanks for leaving a comment!
I am having beautiful korat and i love her so much .she is very caring mother and intelligent and super active .
Thanks for leaving a comment!
This is a great video
Thank You!
Oh yeah I definitely have a korat. I’ve been worried about her weight because it seems so low, but she’s just tiny 🩶🐾
Korat is so cute.
I always called ours a Korat but now I am less sure… she does eat too much and doesn’t mind ‘alone’ time…
She’s definitely in charge at our house 🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing!
Horrible dilema...I don't know...korat or Russian blue?...hm...birman! 👍😉
Literally the same cats. 🤡
I got a Korat queen and Russian blue king. She is the boss and he is a gentleman. Both are so incredibly intelligent. Love them ♥️
Ahh, a king and a queen. Thanks for sharing!

I love ❤️ my Russian Blue kitty. She’s so noisy but she has a wonderful personality. I call her “my little friend. “
So sweet. Thanks for leaving a comment!
The video keep splicing in photos of French Chartreuse Cats, with their Copper colored eyes. Are these Videos mass produced in China or something!?

There are no Korat breeders in the US? Thank you.

My cat Zuri has major Korat characteristics ( big eyes)and always head-butts me. Plus she is empathetic.

Потому что я только один раз встретила кората и к счастью он стал моим котом🤍💕
Hi I’m Russian Blue Nagi 😻🐈⬛❤️

I have a cat they say is a Russian blue but I think he might be a korat.
Thanks for leaving a comment!
See I have the same issue, I think mine is a Russian blue but I’m curious to know if there is a CAT DNA kit? I know there is a dog one
My boy is half blue half korat! He looks acts just like a korat! He does hate change! So has a few blue qualities! Hoping he lives for 20 years he'll be 8 this mth!
I think cats bring good luck, I always have cats (and dogs) in my house. Ciao.
Our korat will take long walks with us and stay with us. Downside is he decides when is time for everyone to wake up anyway from 2 to 6am
We got a Russian blue here and Korat . We had our Korat cat for 16yrs died two yrs ago and still missing him everyday. We got Russian blue bcos thats the closest looking like Korat and he is amazing beautiful cat. Korat is a king of our house before he was the boss and always be
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Korat, and thanks for sharing!

I can't tell then apart. They look the same to me.
Lmfao. I know the difference but Idk how to put 'em together!

I rescued a Korat, and he's the gentlest and plumpest happy boy. He's also very solid, and is heavy but not fat. He's my little linebacker
Thanks for sharing!
Korat seem to have a darker coat, hard to tell. Longer tail on the Russian Blue.
I know Russian Blue is from Russia.
My Koran Queen decided that she needs a new home, so I worked over time with her since she owns her own business 😂 She bought a Coop and she is very happy to have me as a butler in the house anything she demands she gets it 🤣
Your Korat rules, lol. Thanks for sharing!
What is a Koran??.
Nice❤
Is the Korat cat hypoallergenic?
Unfortunately, no cat is 100% hypoallergenic.
I miss my Korat so, _so much._
Ahh, I'm so sorry!

Thanks for sharing!
