A Look At the Koret Cat Breed

If you are at all superstitious, you may want to take a look at the Koret cat breed. This breed originated in Thailand well before the seventeen hundreds. The Thai people believed that the silvery blue color of this stunning breed stood for monetary wealth, while the brilliant green eyes of the breed symbolized abundant crops, since this was the same color of immature rice grains. It is no wonder that the Thai believed a newly married couple should receive a pair of Koret cats to ensure a successful marriage.

Today, hundreds of years later, the Koret is still a blue cat with unusually green eyes.
