ʻO nā ʻelele o ka ʻano o nā pōpoki Korat he slender a nani. Ma muli o ko lākou ʻano hikina, makemake nui lākou. E ʻike i nā mea a pau e pili ana i ka pua puaʻa Korat ma aneʻi.
ʻO nā pōpoki Korat kekahi o nā pōpoki pedigree kaulana loa i waena o nā poʻe aloha pōpoki. Maanei ʻoe e ʻike ai i ka ʻike nui loa e pili ana i ka Korata.
Ke kumu o ka Korata
ʻO ka Korat kekahi o nā ʻano popoki maoli kahiko loa. Ma kahi o ka Siam kaulana, ua noho pū nā ʻelele o ka Korat i nā monasteries Thai i ka wā ʻo Ayudhya (1350 a 1767).
Ma kona ʻāina hānau ʻo Thailand, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Korat ma mua ʻo "Si-Sawat" (Sawat = laki a me ka pōmaikaʻi) a makemake nui ʻia e nā aliʻi. Ua maikaʻi ka hauʻoli no nā mea aloha a ua maopopo nā pōmaikaʻi waiwai o nā keiki i ka wā i loaʻa ai i ka wahine mare kahi pōpoki laki mai kona makuahine i makana no kāna male ʻana, a waiho pololei ʻo ia ma luna o ka moena male male. A i ka wā i hoʻokō ai ʻo ia i kāna "lawelawe" ma laila a hoʻolaha nā keiki i makemake nui ʻia iā lākou iho, ua ʻae ʻia ka tomcat e hiamoe i loko o ka moena ma mua o ka hānau ʻana o ka pēpē, ma mua o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o ke keiki hou i loko. ʻO ka mua o nā wāwae ʻehā i ka moena i hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ke ola olakino a hauʻoli i nā keiki.
Ua hoʻomaka wale ka lele ʻana o ka ʻoihana honua o ka Korat i ka makahiki 1959 - me ka "lele ma ka loko" - ua lawe ʻia ka lua hānau mua i USA. Mai laila mai i hoʻomaka ai kahi huakaʻi lanakila ʻole a puni ka honua. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Korat e ka FIFé mai ka makahiki 1983. ʻOiai ua kaulana nā ʻano hikina a puni ka honua, ʻo ka Korat kahi ʻano ʻano ʻokoʻa ma waho o Thailand.
Ka nana ana o ka Korata
He ʻokoʻa ka Korata me kona ʻano hikina, ka helehelena puʻuwai, a me ka hulu kala-uliuli. He ʻano kiʻekiʻe kona kiʻekiʻe, haʻahaʻa ke kaumaha, a me ka ʻiʻo ma hope o kona ʻāʻī mālie. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o nā wāwae hope ma mua o nā wāwae mua, ʻo ka huelo ka lōʻihi. Nui a poepoe na maka o ke Korata. ʻO ka nui o nā pōpoki i ka piha ʻana o ʻehā mau makahiki, ma ia manawa ua loli ke kala o ko lākou mau maka mai ka melemele a i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ua akea ka maka. He lae palahalaha ko Korata. Nui nā pepeiao, hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia, a poʻe nā ʻaoʻao.
No laila, hoʻomanaʻo kona helehelena i ka Russian Blue, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui he ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, he helehelena puʻuwai, a ʻaʻohe undercoat.
ʻAlu a me nā kala o ke Korata
He pōkole ka hulu o ke Korata, silika, ʻālohilohi loa, ʻaʻohe ʻaʻahu lalo. He laumania a kokoke i ke kino. ʻO ke kala ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula me nā ʻaoʻao lauoho kala. ʻAʻole like me ka ʻaʻahu uliuli o nā ʻano pōpoki ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka gene no ke kala uliuli o ka Korata i hoʻoili nui ʻia. Kakaʻikahi, ʻōlelo ʻia nā ʻano like ʻole o ka Korat i ka kala lilac ("Thai lilac") (ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia). ʻO nā pads a me nā ʻili ihu he uliuli uliuli a lavender paha.
Ke ano o ka Korata
Hoʻololi ʻo Korat me ka hauʻoli a me ka pīhoihoi i nā makemake a me nā pono o nā kānaka. Hoʻopili maʻalahi ʻo ia i nā hana maʻamau a me nā hana maʻamau o kona ʻohana, me ka hoʻokau ʻole ʻana i kā lākou makemake a i ʻole ka manaʻo. Ma ke ano, he naauao ka Korata, he noonoo, a he lealea loa.
Me ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka hilinaʻi iā ia iho, ʻae ʻo Korat iā ia iho e hoʻokipa ʻia e kona mau kānaka a hoʻomaikaʻi iā lākou ma ke ʻano aloha a aloha. Makemake ʻo ia e aloha ʻia a hoʻopau ʻia a koi ʻia i nā hola cuddling nui. Makemake ʻo ia e kolo ma lalo o nā uhi i ka pō a pūliki paʻa loa i kona poʻe. Ma muli o kona leʻaleʻa a me kona ʻano hoʻomanawanui, aia nō ʻo ia i nā lima maikaʻi me ka ʻohana me nā keiki.
Ka malama a me ka malama ana i ke Korata
Ua hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻo Korat i ke ola i loko o ka hale a hauʻoli hoʻi ma ke ʻano he pōpoki i loko, inā lawa kona wahi a me nā manawa e pāʻani ai. Eia nō naʻe, makemake maoli ka Korat e pāʻani me ka conspecific. ʻO ke kapa siliki a ʻālohilohi o kēia ʻano he pono ka mālama liʻiliʻi akā pono e palaki ʻia i nā manawa he nui i ka pule.
