Which cat breed is right for you?
The Khao Manee — meaning "White Gem" — is an ancient Thai breed mentioned in the Tamra Maew (Cat Book Poems) dating back to the 14th century, where it was considered a royal cat bringing good fortune. This medium-sized breed weighs 6–11 pounds and has a sleek, athletic build with a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. Their coat is exclusively pure white and short, and their most captivating feature is their jewel-like eyes — which can be blue, gold, or odd-eyed (one of each), with the odd-eyed variety being the most prized.
Khao Manees are outgoing, confident, and highly social cats that love to be the center of attention. They are playful and energetic, forming strong bonds with their families and getting along well with children and other pets. Their vocal, curious nature and striking appearance make them captivating companions that demand — and deserve — plenty of interaction.

The Oriental Shorthair emerged in the 1950s and 1960s when British breeders crossed Siamese cats with Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, and Abyssinians to create a Siamese-type cat in a rainbow of non-pointed colors. Sleek and angular at 6–12 pounds, this breed has a wedge-shaped head, strikingly large ears, vivid green eyes (or blue in white coats), and a short, fine, glossy coat in over 300 color-and-pattern combinations — more than any other cat breed.
Oriental Shorthairs are among the most extroverted and opinionated cats in existence — they will tell you exactly what they think in a loud, distinctive voice. Fiercely loyal, they bond tightly to their humans and follow them everywhere, including into the shower. They are athletic, curious, and endlessly entertaining, making them ideal for active households with children and other social pets.
