Before choosing

Full description

The Korat is often closely attached to familiar people and enjoys interactive play while preferring a stable, relatively quiet routine. Sudden environmental changes or persistent noise may be stressful, so gradual introductions and safe retreat spaces are useful. It remains active and curious and benefits from daily games, climbing areas and social contact. The short single coat requires minimal grooming.
