Which cat breed is right for you?
The Korat is one of the oldest natural cat breeds — originating in Nakhon Ratchasima (historically called "Korat") province of Thailand and documented in the Tamra Maew as early as the 14th century. This small-to-medium breed weighs 6–10 pounds and has a semi-cobby, muscular body with a distinctive heart-shaped face and large, luminous green eyes. Their single coat is exclusively silver-tipped blue — each hair is lighter at the root and tipped with silver, giving the entire cat a shimmering, halo-like appearance.
Korats are gentle, intelligent cats that form extraordinarily strong bonds with their families and prefer quiet, stable environments. They can be shy with strangers but are deeply devoted to their people — often choosing one person as their absolute favorite. They do well with respectful children and calm companion cats, though they tend to assert dominance over other pets in the household.

The Ragamuffin emerged in the 1990s as a separate breed from the Ragdoll, developed by breeders who wanted to expand the gene pool and introduce a wider array of colors and patterns. This is a large, heavy cat — weighing 10–20 pounds — with a broad chest, substantial bone structure, and a plush, rabbit-soft coat that resists matting. Ragamuffins come in every color and pattern, including mink, sepia, solid, and bicolor variations not found in Ragdolls.
Ragamuffins are exceptionally docile, trusting cats often described as "puppy-like" in their devotion. They greet visitors at the door, follow family members from room to room, and love being held — often going completely limp when picked up. Their patience and gentle nature make them outstanding companions for children and multi-pet households.
