Good to know

  • Considered a good-luck gift in Thailand, traditionally given in pairs.
  • Only one colour exists: silver-tipped blue, with no other shade accepted.
  • A genetic test exists for the neuromuscular disease that runs in some lines.

Who it suits

Quiet homes; the breed dislikes sudden noise and constant upheaval.

Care

Weekly brushing. Ask the breeder for GM1 and GM2 test results before buying.

History of the breed

One of the cats described in the Tamra Maew, where its coat is likened to rain cloud and its eyes to young rice. It was traditionally never sold, only given, and the first pair reached the United States in 1959 from a breeder in Bangkok.
