Welcome to Doklao Korats

Our association with Korats started in 1992 with our first Korat neuter 'Ziggy'. We wanted a companion for our then ageing toy poodle 'Monty' who had grown up with our family cat 'Smokey'. While looking for an outgoing breed of cat we saw an advertisement for Korat kittens. At the time our only knowledge about the breed was gleaned from information in cat books. Not long after, we met the little ball of steel wool and it was love at first sight. A delightful and playful boy, Ziggy's antics never failed to amaze us. He had a true Korat temperament - mild, with a will of iron! Ziggy was not afraid of anything and was convinced that he could do anything he had not previously been told not to, adapted quite easily to new situations, and had good self confidence. Playful, loyal and affectionate, Ziggy became good friends with Monty, our poodle. His premature death left a huge hole in our lives and a determination to learn more about this rare and little know breed.

We acquired our first Korat queen Rursai Dtook Ga Dtah (Zoe) in October 1993. Zoe was nine months old at the time and a bit more reserved than Ziggy. She soon made friends with Monty and taught us everything, and more, about Korats. We had our first Korat litter in January 1994 under the Sommerglen prefix. The six kittens were a delightful introduction to the world of breeding. We kept a neutered male kitten from this litter as a companion for Zoe, and for showing. Sommerglen Yu Lin, or 'Wiggy', was a wonderful pet and a successful show cat, before his untimely death in 1999.

Sadly, Zoe died in November 2004 after a short illness, which she fought with the same courage as she showed in her beautiful life.

Now let us tell you a bit about our current Korats:

GD CH Doklao Blu Thao Surinari Female

Affectionately called ‘Suri’, (7 months old as of January, 2010) this lovely young kitten was named after a famous Thai princess from Korat. Suri loves all types of games and toys.

She has been doing well in shows enjoying all the attention from judges and the public.

CH DOKLAO Blu Tia Stardust Spay

The gorgeous Tia

Tia is a third generation Doklao queen. She was the only kitten in a litter born to GD DB GD CH Doklao Chintina Blu Rose (Rosie). When she was four weeks old B-B joined the family and they have been inseparable ever since. Tia is always busy and on the go inventing new games and getting up to mischief. She has a lovely short coat, sweet expression and luminous green eyes. Tia loves to meet and greet visitors and is especially fascinated by children. Show judges especially like her silky coat and beautiful green eye colour. At the 2009 Sydney Royal Easter Show Tia won the Best Cat Head Type. Sadly Tia had to be spayed after her first litter of kittens. She is the mother of our youngest addition Doklao Blu Thao Surinari

Our Boys

BZ DB GD CH and US CH Pewterpaws Blue Yindee Sumatra (Imp USA) Male

DOB: 25th May 2000

The handsome 'Mr Yindee'

Yindee came to us in 2002 from Professor Bill Gustafson, Nebraska, USA, as part of a line exchange to introduce new blood lines into our Korat gene pool. He is a regal and charming boy with a gentle disposition. He enjoys being around the girls and watching kittens at play. Yindee has a strong and muscular body, an expressive face with wide set luminous green eyes. He has sired some very beautiful kittens, including Rosie.

Doklao Blueberry Ash Male

DOB: 26th March 2009

The delightful Ash

‘Ash’ is Lilyput’s son from her last litter. He is a well built, strong and muscular kitten. Ash is very friendly and engaging and curious about everything and everyone. He enjoys playing chasing games with Suri, B-B and Tia. He is laid back and relaxed and an important addition to our breeding program.

The "other" boy

Sawadas Micky Finn

Breed: British Blue Shorthair

DOB: 12th May 1996

Micky is a British Blue boy and not a Korat. He is a vasectomised male cat that the girls visit in between litters. He is a sweet and gentle boy who really enjoys his brushing sessions. We think that he is learning to speak Thai Korat as he often has long chat sessions with the Korat clan.
