The Korat is a living good-luck charm in his home country of Thailand, where he is also known as the Si-Sawat cat,” so named for their region of origin. (Cat Time) Everyone who staffs a Korat agreed on one thing: the bonding of this breed with their humans is the best empathy found on earth! Korat human servants fall in love instantly with the heartshaped faces and peridot green eyes of these talented, opinionated, talkative little fur critters. In addition, Korats are affectionate and loyal.
Like the Tonkinese and Burmese, the Korat’s semi-cobby body is deceptive. These cats are hefty and much heavier than they look. Their short, dense, silver-blue fur “does not float off when they are stroked or petted, so most people with allergies to cat hair find their proximity tolerable.” (CFA Breeds). Well-known for their heart-shaped face, there are actually “a total of five hearts associated with the Korat,” with the head having three of these shapes. “Looking straight on at the Korat, one sees the Valentine-shaped heart of the head. The second heart is found by looking down over the top of the Korat’s head, and the third heart associated with the head is the nose. The fourth heart can be found in the muscular area of the chest when the cat is in a sitting position. But the most commonly forgotten heart is the one inside the cat! As the Korat matures, the heart shapes become more prominent.” (CFA Breeds)

The Cat Fancy Alphabet
\"The Cat Fancy Alphabet\" is a new feature in Cat Talk. It highlights various terms and aspects of the cat fancy, educating fanciers new and old about our hobby.
UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal
If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
Vision and Hearing Dysfunctions in Senior Cats
Just as people are challenged by having deficiencies with vision and hearing over time, so are senior cats. In senior cats, pet owners may notice their cats are no longer responding to them in the same way; however, it may be difficult to figure out.
Senior Cats and House Soiling
Why is my cat no longer using its litter box? Cat soiling in the house is one of the most talked about issues for pet owners.

Alternative Arthritis Treatments for Cats
Just like humans, cats can experience arthritis. About 90% of cats over the age of 10 years experience osteoarthritis (OA) in at least one joint.1 It is a complex condition involving inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints and is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Cats with OA experience pain and inflammation in various joints that interfere with daily activities.
