References & acknowledgements 14 Breed Origins & History In the west the Korat takes its name from a northern area of Thailand, a remote location near the Burmese border. It’s believed blue cats may have had the evolutionary edge there as the coat colour blended with the granite rock. In its homeland it’s most usually called the Si-Sawat, though there are also the older names of Doklao and Maled. These derive from the poetic imagery of the Tamra Maew, Thailand’s treasured ‘Book of Cats’ now to be seen as the Smud Khoi of Cats in the National Museum of Bangkok. The Korat drawing and verse as it appears on the ancient manuscript (Smud Khoi) Naturally enough, it is how the cat looks (phenotype) that is described with the body colour being likened to a seed head, lemon grass flower, clouds and sea foam, but they are important as they are the reason for the Korat’s modern Thai name of Si-Sawat (grey cat - where si is colour and sawat a mingling of grey and light green).

    Reds, Creams and Inbetweens Dr Kerry Fowler MSc PhD Grad Dip Ed Published in NSW CFA Catching Up 5(3/4):5-6(2003) Background Current registration systems in most Australian cat councils work on the concept that two solid cats cannot produce a tabby kitten. In the main this policy is absolutely correct however in the case of the orange or ‘O’ gene cats ie creams, reds and the less vibrant reds known as ‘gingers’ and ‘marmalades’, sticking to this hard and fast rule often results in no end of controversy and confusion. Breeders are obliged to register red or cream tabby marked kittens from solid parents as red or cream selfs and in turn judges are required to assess them as such despite some of these red or cream kittens and cats having an abundance of clear tabby markings. Being a sex-linked gene, the ‘O’ gene coat colour issues extend to tortoiseshells, blue-creams and tricolours. This article identifies some of the misunderstanding surrounding breeding and judging ‘O’ gene cats including cameos and apricots, and draws on current genetic knowledge, registration policies and show standards from other councils to help resolve some of the re-occurring questions. Genetic principles In order to help put some of the debate and perplexity aside it is worth keeping in mind that there are four basic genetic rules that help us to understand the appearance of red or cream tabbies and solids. First, the tabby pattern gene is present in all cats including solid or self cats. Second, the tabby pattern is only revealed when the dominant agouti gene product or protein is present.
