Discovering the Khao Manee: A Rare Gem in the Cat World
In the realm of feline breeds, the Khao Manee stands out as a rare and captivating jewel. Originating from Thailand, this breed is known for its stunning white coat and striking eyes, often of two different colors. Let's delve into the world of the Khao Manee and understand what makes them so special.
The Enchanting Appearance of the Khao Manee
The most distinctive feature of the Khao Manee is undoubtedly its pure white coat, which is sleek, short, and requires minimal grooming. But the real showstopper is their eyes. Khao Manee cats can have blue, gold, or even odd-colored eyes (one blue and one gold), adding to their mystique and allure.
A Glimpse into Their History
The Khao Manee, also known as the "White Gem," has a history that is as intriguing as its appearance. This breed has been a part of Thai culture for centuries, often associated with luck, longevity, and prosperity. They were so revered that for a long time, they were kept exclusively by the Thai royal family.
Personality Traits
Khao Manee cats are not just about good looks; they have a personality to match. Known for their sociable and affectionate nature, they bond deeply with their human companions. They are playful, curious, and love to be the center of attention, making them great pets for families and singles alike.
Health and Care
Generally healthy, the Khao Manee can have a lifespan of up to 12-15 years with proper care. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and adequate exercise are vital for their wellbeing. Their short coat makes grooming a breeze, requiring just a weekly brush to keep it shiny.
The Perfect Home for a Khao Manee
Khao Manee cats thrive in a loving and interactive environment. They do well in homes where they can receive ample attention and playtime. Their adaptable nature also makes them suitable for living in apartments or houses.
Responsible Breeding and Adoption
As with any breed, responsible breeding practices are crucial. Prospective Khao Manee owners should ensure they are getting their pet from ethical breeders who prioritize the health and temperament of their cats.
Conclusion
The Khao Manee is more than just a beautiful cat; it's a breed rich in history, with a loving and playful personality. If you're considering adding a Khao Manee to your family, prepare to be charmed by this enchanting breed.

Man Suang - today’s updates
Today’s stories:
I can feel mile and apo’s excitement through their stories 🥲
A new article from HelloAsian web came out:
Translation of the new information only:
“Man Suang takes inspiration from Thai history, dating back 171 years during the reign of King Rama III, in 1852.
“Mansuang”, which is the name of the film, is the name of one of the most famous entertainment venues of the time. It was a secret place to socialize, meet and negotiate business for powerful people, businessmen, merchants of Chinese origin, & foreign countries who arranged their appointments to negotiate, agree, and benefit among various forms of entertainment.
Slander, betrayal, secret quest, proof of truth, discovery of true friendship, unexpected enemies, the turn between survival and death, & the decision to change life forever.
An intense, multi-flavoured, multi-emotional story on the various enigmatic knots takes place here, and finally, leads them into a transition and a big life decision that will change them forever.
Apo, one of the leading actors of the film, said that he was very focused on acting and working on it. He had to do his homework, and had to study the characters of that era. Because humans were loving, greedy, angry, strayed and had different beliefs. He wanted to pass on Thai culture and Thailand to the world, especially the dance that he has studied and has the opportunity to show in this movie.
“MAN SUANG” is a fantasy film based on history that is incorporated into a variety of cultures.
Each part of the super-skilled team is dedicated to creating and wishes to make this film in an entertaining way with the intention to convey the interest of thailand to the world in a new perspective”.

Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.
Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue
Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull
Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it
I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)
Tori is a munchkin
OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)
(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)
