Amakati e-Korat aphakathi kwamakati athandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabathandi bekati. Lapha uzothola ulwazi olubaluleke kakhulu mayelana neKorat.
Umsuka WeKorat
I-Korat ingenye yezinhlobo ezindala zamakati emvelo. Ngaphezu kweSiam eyaziwa kakhulu, abameleli beKorat babehlala ezindlini zezindela zaseThai ngesikhathi se-Ayudhya (1350 kuya ku-1767).
Ezweni lakubo eThailand, iKorat yayivame ukubizwa ngokuthi “Si-Sawat” (Sawat = inhlanhla nokuchuma) futhi yayihahela kakhulu izicukuthwane. Injabulo yayiphelele kubathandi futhi izibusiso ezicebile zezingane zaziqinisekile lapho umakoti ethola ikati elinenhlanhla kunina njengesipho somshado wakhe, alibeka ngqo embhedeni womshado wombhangqwana. Futhi lapho isiyifezile “inkonzo” yayo lapho futhi inzalo eyayihanjelwe izimemezela, i-tomcat yayivunyelwa ukuba ilale embelekweni ngaphambi kokuba umntwana azalwe, ngaphambi kokuba usana olusanda kuzalwa lubekwe kuwo kamuva. Umanduleli onemilenze emine embhedeni waqinisekisa inzalo impilo enempilo nejabulisayo.
Umsebenzi womhlaba wonke weKorat waqala ngo-1959 - "ngokugxuma echibini" ngesibindi - umbhangqwana wokuqala wokuzala wangeniswa e-USA. Kusukela lapho, kwaqala imashi yokunqoba engenakuqhathaniswa emhlabeni wonke. I-Korat iye yaqashelwa yi-FIFé kusukela ngo-1983. Nakuba izinhlobo zasempumalanga zidumile emhlabeni wonke, i-Korat isewuhlobo oluyivelakancane ngaphandle kwe-Thailand.

IKorat ihlukile ngokuma kwayo ngasempumalanga, ubuso obumise okwenhliziyo, noboya obusiliva obuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Unobude obumaphakathi, isisindo esimaphakathi, futhi unemisipha ngemuva kwamajika akhe athambile. Imilenze yangemuva yinde kancane kuneyangaphambili, umsila unobude obuphakathi. Amehlo eKorat makhulu kakhulu futhi ayindilinga. Amakati asuke esekhule ngokugcwele lapho eseneminyaka emine ubudala, ngaleso sikhathi umbala wamehlo awo usushintshile usuka ophuzi waba luhlaza okotshani. Amehlo aqhelelene. I-Korat inesiphongo esibanzi, esiyisicaba. Izindlebe zinkulu, ziphakeme, futhi zinamathiphu ayindilinga.
Ngakho-ke ukubukeka kwayo kukhumbuza i-Russian Blue, umehluko omkhulu ukuthi incane futhi intekenteke kakhulu, inobuso obufana nenhliziyo, futhi ayinayo i-undercoat.
Ijazi Nemibala YeKorat

Ngokungafani nejazi eliluhlaza lezinye izinhlobo eziningi zamakati, isakhi sofuzo sombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka weKorat sitholwa njengefa kakhulu. Akuvamile, ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo kweKorat kumbala we-lilac (“Thai lilac”) kuthiwa kwenzeka (akuqashelwa). Amaphedi nezikhumba zekhala ziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okumnyama noma i-lavender.
