What does KORAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A breed of short-haired cat with a solid silver-blue coat and green eyes, originating in Thailand.
The korat takes its name from a province in Thailand, where the breed has long been considered a symbol of good fortune and was traditionally given as a wedding gift rather than sold. Breeders prize the korat for a single even shade of bluish fur with no stripes or patches, and for large, luminous eyes that grow more vivid as the cat grows older. The breed is one of the older recognized cat lines, with a history in Thailand said to stretch back centuries before it ever reached a Western cat show.
