Khaomanee

Place of Origin-Thailand

Shorthairs

Weight : Weight-6–12lb (2.5–5.5kg)

Translating to "white jewel," this breed originates from Thailand. Pure white cats of this type have been documented in Thai history as early as the 14th century, though Khaomanees remained within their native land until the late 20th century. Now, they are gaining attention in the UK and the US. This aristocratic breed boasts a variety of eye colors—its eyes may be of different colors, the same color in different shades, or even bicolored. Bold and friendly, Khaomanees are sometimes loud-voiced.
