Hello Lori:

Time certainly flies. I can't believe that my Tofu and Snowball will be celebrating their 1st birthday on Monday. No words can adequately express the joy these guys have brought into our lives. I am so glad that I got two instead of just one. They have provided hours of entertainment for anyone coming into my house. One minute they are chasing each other around the house - then they are wrestling with one another - and then they will be cuddled together and sleeping peacefully. Not a day goes by when I don't smile at them and think so kindly of you and your cattery for your loving care during the first months of their lives.

Tofu will fetch a toy (when HE wants to) and bring it to me to throw - and then he retrieves it and I throw it again. It's great fun - and kind of unbelievable that a cat has such a dog-like personality. It's amazing the things they pick up with their mouths.

Snowball loves when we play with the feather wand and has some very acrobatic moves. He signals the end of play by taking the wand from us. He has even dragged it from the second floor down to the first.

I hope everything is going well for you and Joe and all your furry family

There is a common misconception that any white cat found in a country outside of Thailand is a Khao Manee. We and other breeders are often asked when people find a white cat with unknown history, is the cat a Khao Manee? The simple answer, probably not : unless the cat is from a reputable breeder and its history on both the mothers and fathers side can be traced back to Thailand then the likelihood of the cat being a Khao Manee is extremely small. Khao Manee was recently recognized and bred outside of Thailand (1999), therefore it should be easy to trace all history back to cats that were originally born in Thailand. Unfortunately due to the rarity of the breed, especially Khao Manee with odd eyes, sometimes breeders or pet sellers will falsely advertise white cats as Khao manee when in fact they have little to or no relation to cats from Thailand. If you think a breeder is not honest or trying to sell white cats that are not actually Khao Manee be sure to ask them to see a pedigree and inquire about the history of the cats parents.

If you find a stray cat on the street or from a shelter and you think they might be a Khao Manee first check to see if they have microchip. If they do have a microchip check in your area or with an online database if anyone is missing their cat. Also check to see if there are any Khao Manee breeders in your area / country. There are very few Khao Manee breeders outside of Thailand, so for example if you live in Australia and you find a white cat, it is highly unlikely they are a Khao Manee because there are no Khao Manee breeders in Australia. If the cat doesn't have a microchip and you have no information about the parents there is very little you can do to find out more. There is some genetic testing that can be done at UC Davis - VGL called Cat Ancestry, however this is not a breed test and will only roughly tell you which part of the world the cat is from.
