ʻO Korat (English Korat, tai: โคราช, มาเล ศ, สี ส วาด) kahi ʻano o nā pōpoki kūloko, me nā oho hina polū, liʻiliʻi, pāʻani a pili i nā poʻe. He lāhui kūlohelohe kēia, a kahiko hoʻi.
No Thailand kēia inoa, ua kapa ʻia kēia pōpoki ma hope o ka panalāʻau o Nakhon Ratchasima, i kapa mau ʻia ʻo Korat e nā Thais. Kaulana, manaʻo ʻia kēia mau pōpoki e lawe i ka laki maikaʻi, hāʻawi ʻia i nā kāne hou a i ʻole nā mea hanohano, a hiki i kēia manawa ʻaʻole i kūʻai ʻia ma Thailand, akā hāʻawi wale ʻia.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
ʻO nā pōpoki Korat (ʻoiaʻiʻo ua haʻi ʻia ka inoa khorat) ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ma ʻEulopa a hiki i ka 1959, ʻoiai he poʻe kahiko lākou, like me ko lākou ʻāina hānau. No Thailand lākou (ma mua ʻo Siam), kahi ʻāina i hāʻawi iā mākou i nā pōpoki Siamese. I ko lākou ʻāina hānau ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo Si-Sawat "Si-Sawat" a no nā kenekulia i manaʻo ʻia kēia mau pōpoki e lawe i ka laki.
Hiki ke loaʻa nā hōʻoia o ka wā kahiko o ka lāhui i kahi palapala i kapa ʻia ʻo The Poem of Cats, i kākau ʻia ma Thailand ma waena o 1350 a me 1767. ʻO kekahi o nā moʻolelo kahiko loa o nā pōpoki, wehewehe ia i 17 mau ʻano, e like me Siamese, Burmese a me Korat.
Minamina, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokū pololei i ka lā o ke kākau ʻana, ʻoiai kēia mea kākau, ʻaʻole wale i kāhiko ʻia me nā lau gula, pena ʻia, akā ua kākau ʻia ma ka lālā pāma. A i ka wā i lilo ai ia i palapala, kākau hou ʻia ia.
Ua hana ʻia nā hana āpau e ka lima, a lawe kēlā me kēia mea kākau i kāna ponoʻī i loko o ia mea, a paʻakikī i ka pili aloha.
ʻO ka inoa o ka pōpoki mai ka moku Nakhon Ratchasima (kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo Khorat), kahi ʻāina kiʻekiʻe ma ka ʻākau hikina o Thailand, ʻoiai makemake nui ʻia nā pōpoki i nā wahi ʻē aʻe. Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ʻo kēia ka mea a ke aliʻi o Chulalongkorn i kāhea aku ai, iā ia i ʻike ai iā lākou, ua nīnau ʻo ia: "He aha nā pōpoki nani, no hea lākou?", "Mai Khorat, e kuʻu haku".
ʻO Breeder Jean Johnson mai Oregon i lawe mai i kēia mau pōpoki i ʻAkau ʻAkau no ka manawa mua. Ua noho ʻo Johnson ma Bangkok i ʻeono mau makahiki, kahi i hoʻāʻo ai e kūʻai i ʻelua pōpoki, akā ʻaʻole i holo pono. ʻOiai i ko lākou homeland, kākaʻikahi lākou a he kumu kūʻai ke kālā kūpono.
Eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki 1959, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi mau keiki keiki ke hoʻi ʻo ia me kāna kāne i ka home. ʻO ko lākou kaikaina a me ko lākou kaikuahine, ʻo Nara lāua ʻo Darra mai kahi hale kaulana ʻo Mahajaya ma Bangkok.
I ka makahiki 1961, lawe mai ka mea hānai ʻo Gail Woodward i ʻelua mau pōpoki Korat, kahi kāne i kapa ʻia ʻo Nai Sri Sawat Miow a me kahi wahine ʻo Mahajaya Dok Rak. Ma hope mai, ua hoʻohui ʻia kahi pōpoki ʻo Me-Luk iā lākou a lilo kēia mau holoholona i kumu no ka hānau ʻana ma ʻAkau ʻAmelika.
Ua hoihoi ka pīhoihoi ʻē aʻe i ka lāhui, a i nā makahiki i hala aʻe, ua lawe ʻia a nui aʻe o kēia mau pōpoki mai Thailand mai. Akā, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mau mea, a hoʻonui mālie ka helu. I ka makahiki 1965, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Korat Cat Fanciers Association (KCFA) e pale aku a hoʻolauna i ka lāhui.
Ua ʻae ʻia nā pōpoki no ka hānau ʻana, ua hōʻoia ʻia ke kumu o kēlā. Ua kākau ʻia ka pae hoʻohālike mua a ua hui pū kekahi pūʻulu liʻiliʻi o nā mea hoʻohua e ʻike ʻia i nā hui feline.
ʻO kekahi o nā pahuhopu nui ka mālama ʻana i ka hiʻona kumu o ka laha, ʻaʻole i loli no nā makahiki he haneli.
I ka makahiki 1968, ua lawe ʻia he eiwa mau pōpoki hou mai Bangkok mai, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ka loko wai. Ma ka liʻuliʻu, ua loaʻa i kēia mau pōpoki ke kūlana champion i nā hui felinological āpau ma ʻAmelika.
Akā, mai kinohi mai, ulu lohi ka heluna kanaka, ʻoiai ka pōpō e kia ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pōpoki maikaʻi a olakino hoʻi. I kēia lā, ʻaʻole maʻalahi e kūʻai i kēlā pōpoki ʻoiai ma USA.
Hōʻike o ka lāhui
Nani loa ka pōpoki laki, me nā maka ʻōmaʻomaʻo e ʻōlinolino e like me nā diamana a me nā lauoho polū silvery.
ʻAʻole like me nā ʻano ʻulu polū ʻē aʻe (Chartreuse, British Shorthair, Russian Blue, a me Nibelung), ʻike ʻia ka Korat e kona liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi hoʻi, kino squat. Akā ʻoiai kēia, kaumaha kaumaha lākou ke lawe ʻia i kou mau lima.
ʻO ka iwi ākea ka laulā, me kahi mamao nui ma waena o nā forelegs, ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ke kua. Kūlike nā paws i ke kino, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka pōkole o nā ʻūlū mua ma mua o nā mea i hope, ʻo ka huelo o ka lōʻihi waena, ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa ma ke kumu, e lewa ana i ka piko.
ʻAe ʻia nā knot a me nā ʻūlū, akā inā ʻaʻole ʻikea ʻia, he knot i ʻike ʻia kahi kumu no ka hemo ʻana. Kaupaona ʻia nā pōpoki makua mai 3.5 a 4.5 kg, nā pōpoki mai 2.5 a 3.5 kg. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka hele ʻana i waho.
Kūlike ke poʻo i ka nui a like me ka puʻuwai ke nānā ʻia mai mua. Hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia ka waha a me nā aʻa, haʻi ʻia, akā ʻaʻole kiko a kuli paha.
Nui nā pepeiao, hoʻonoho kiʻekiʻe i ke poʻo, kahi e hāʻawi ai i ka pōpoki i kahi ʻano koʻikoʻi. Poepoe nā kihi o nā pepeiao, aia nā lauoho liʻiliʻi i loko o lākou, a pōkole loa ka lauoho e ulu ana i waho.
Nui nā maka, luminous, a kū i waho me ka hohonu a me ka mōakāka. Makemake ʻia nā maka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, akā ʻae ʻia ka amber, ʻoiai ʻaʻole pinepine nā maka i ʻōmaʻomaʻo a hiki i ka wā o ka pōpoki i ka wā ʻōpio, ʻo ka maʻamau a 4 mau makahiki.
Pōkole ke kapa o ka Korat, me ka ʻole o lalo o ke kapa, ʻōlinolino, maikaʻi a kokoke i ke kino. ʻAe ʻia hoʻokahi kala a me ke kala: polū kūlike (hina-hina).
ʻIke ʻia kahi sheen silvery ʻokoʻa e ka maka ʻōlohelohe. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka māmā o ka lauoho i nā aʻa; i nā keiki keiki, hiki i nā kiko blurred ma ke kapa, i mae me ka makahiki.
ʻAno
Kaulana ʻia ʻo Korat no ko lākou ʻano akahai, mesmerizing, no laila hiki iā lākou ke hoʻolilo i ka inaina pōpoki i ipo aloha. Hoʻopili paʻa kēia haipule i loko o kahi kapa huluhulu kālā i nā mea aloha i hiki ʻole ke haʻalele iā lākou no ka manawa lōʻihi.
He mau hoa aloha nui lākou e hāʻawi i ke kūpaʻa a me ke aloha me ka manaʻo ʻole i kahi mea i ka hoʻihoʻi. Nānā a akamai hoʻi lākou, ʻike lākou i ke ʻano o ke kanaka a hiki ke hoʻohuli iā ia.
Makemake lākou e puni i ka poʻe a komo i kekahi hana: holoi, hoʻomaʻemaʻe, hoʻomaha a me ke pāʻani ʻana. Pehea hou aʻe e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kūpale i kēia mau mea me ka ʻole e kau ana ka pōpō kālā i lalo o kou mau wāwae?
Ma ke ala, i ʻole lākou e ʻeha i kā lākou hoihoi, noi ʻia e waiho wale iā lākou i ke keʻena.
He ikaika ʻimi hopu ko lākou, a ke pāʻani lākou lawe ʻia aku lākou e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻaʻole e kū ma waena o lākou a me ka mea pāʻani. Hiki iā lākou ke holo i loko o nā papa, nā noho, nā ʻīlio hiamoe, nā pōpoki, e hopu wale i ka mea i hōʻino ʻia.
A ma waena o ka pāʻani a me ka hoihoi, he ʻelua mau leʻaleʻa ʻē aʻe - ka hiamoe ʻana a me ka ʻai ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, koi kēia mau mea i ka ikaika, ma aneʻi pono ʻoe e hiamoe a ʻai.
ʻOi aku ka mālie o nā pōpoki Korat ma mua o nā pōpoki Siamese, akā inā makemake lākou i kekahi mea mai iā ʻoe, e lohe ʻoe. 'Saylelo nā Amateurs ua hoʻomohala nui lākou i nā helehelena o ka helehelena, a ma hope o ka manawa e hoʻomaopopo ʻoe i ka mea a lākou e makemake ai mai iā ʻoe mai kahi ʻano o ka waha. Akā, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe maopopo, a laila pono ʻoe e meow.
Ola
He lāhui olakino maʻamau lākou, akā hiki iā lākou ke ʻeha i nā maʻi ʻelua - GM1 gangliosidosis a me GM2. Minamina, make nā ʻano ʻelua. He hoʻoilina hoʻoilina ia, hoʻoili ʻia i hoʻoili ʻia e ka gen recessive.
No laila, no ka maʻi ʻana, pono ke kūʻē ma nā mākua ʻelua. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā pōpoki me hoʻokahi kope o ka ʻāpana nā mea lawe a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻolei ʻia.
Mālama
Ulu mālie ʻo Korats a hala i 5 mau makahiki e wehe piha. Ke holo nei ka manawa, hoʻomohala lākou i kahi kapa silvery a me ke kala ʻōmaʻomaʻo maka ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻIke paha nā kime e like me ka ʻanakē ʻino, akā ʻaʻole ia e makaʻu iā ʻoe. E lilo lākou i mea nani a lilo i uila uila hinahina.
ʻAʻole i lalo ke kapa o ka Korat, moe kokoke i ke kino a ʻaʻohe ona ʻano, no laila pono ka mālama liʻiliʻi. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ke kaʻina hana o ka haʻalele ʻana he mea leʻaleʻa ia na lākou, no laila, mai moloā e hoʻopili hou iā lākou.
ʻO ka hemahema nui o kēia laha ke ʻano rarity. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa iā lākou, akā inā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi kula hānai, pono ʻoe e kū i kahi lālani lōʻihi. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, makemake nā poʻe āpau i kahi pōpoki e lawe i ka laki maikaʻi.
