Medium-sized, sleek, muscular cat, which should not be very stocky. The head should not have any prominent contours. The face is heart-shaped from the front, wide between and above the eyes and has large, slightly rounded ears which are wide at the base and then taper to a point. Eyes are large, round and wide open. The favoured colour for show cats is green, although amber is also accepted. Legs are in proportion to the body, although the hind legs are slightly longer than the front. The tail is medium-length, powerful and tapers to a rounded point. The short to medium-length coat lies flat along the body and is fine and silky. The coat is always blue, with silver tips to each hair.

Korats are a slate blue-grey shorthair domestic cat with a small to medium build and a low percentage of body fat. Their bodies are semi-cobby, and are surprisingly heavy for their size. They are intelligent, shy, soft-voiced, playful, active cats and form strong bonds with people.
Korats have several characteristics distinguishing them as a breed. One is its head, frequently described as "heart-shaped". Korats are known for their relatively large green eyes and are one of a few breeds that have only one color.

The Korat was first discovered in Ampur Pimai of the Korat Province of Thailand. In a book first printed in 1305 you will find a poem dedicated to this extraordinary animal; The Cat Book of Poems. This book is now located in the National Library of Bangok.
The good luck of this cat is said to increase if the cat has a kink in its tail. In 1959 the first two Korats were imported to the United States, sent to an Oregon cattery; Cedar Glen Cattery. Seven years later, the Korat was officially recognized in the CFA into the Championship status.
