Korat Care

Social:

Korats are very social animals and are desperate for human company. They will involve themselves in all your activities (unless it's nap time, of course.) Beware, when they are sleeping, they are storing energy for the next adventure! They are affectionate, playful, intelligent and intuitive and like to contribute to family life. They appreciate cuddles, laps to sit on, games and interesting corners to explore. They will climb into bags, boxes, cupboards, suitcases and play house. They will talk to you, smile at you, frown at you and yell at you if required and they will always steal your heart away.

Toys: It is not necessary to spend money on expensive cat toys, as Korats prefer to improvise with empty cardboard boxes, lolly (sweet) wrappers and anything noisy or dangling. Korats are both athletic and lazy. They love to tear around the house with bursts of great speed alternating with periods of total unconsciousness. Scratching poles are recommended to save your expensive furniture.

Remember - Korats are indoor animals and must only be allowed outside in a suitably secure run or with an appropriate walking harness.

Medical:

Worming: Korats shold be wormed every 3 months with a quality worming mixture such as Drontal.®
Injections: Your new Korat kitten has had his or her first two injections .and it is your responsibility to take him or her to a reputable veterinary surgeon for the third injection after 4 weeks. Ask your vet for the F3 injections, as we find the F4 injections are not suitable and can not recommend them.

Korats are a robust, hardy breed and if well cared for should live a long and healthy life.
