Korats are a breed of cat originating in Thailand looking very similar to the Russian Blue and the Chartreux, but with a heart-shaped face rather than a round one. They’re rare outside of Thailand, but I am lucky to own one. This short concert opener or closer depicts a few things about the Korat: their intensity in making demands, bonding closely with their owners, their playfulness, and their striking but lovely appearance.
