Every once in a while, I like to offer some cat breed photos just to see how many can be easily identified. How well do you know your breeds? Here are the descriptions with the photo, and at the very end, I'll list the answers (don't peek!). See how well you do.
GUESS THE BREED!
1.This cat is a native of Thailand, and boasts a distinctive silver blue coat and luminous green eyes. He's a gentle, quiet cat that dislikes loud sudden noises and enjoy lap-sitting.
2.Here's a cat breed developed from breeding the Siamese with the Burmese, creating a talkative, outgoing kitty with a gentle and affectionate nature. She loves mischief making and can get into lots of trouble opening drawers, and reclining on tops of the refrigerator.
3.The picture's hardly fair as a test, because it hides this cat's distinctive ears that sit on his head like a small cap. This breed originated in Scotland.
4.Can you see all that short curly fur covering the greyhoundlike body? This distinctive feline originated as a spontaneous mutation in 1950, in Cornwall, England. Such cats are incredibly athletic, great climbers, and sheds less than some other breeds.
5.This breed has only been around since 1981, and her distinctive ears are born straight, then furl and unfurl until reaching permanent shape at about six months old. They're said to retain a kittenish exuberance for life that they never outgrow.

Thanks for asking! Yes, these breeds have a lot of their description in common! BUT - they are very different breeds, and not just because of their origins! Korat comes from Thailand and Russian Blue comes from Northern Russia :) Korats are generally heavier and stockier than the Russian Blues. Their coats are also different. The Korat has a single coat, while the Russian Blue has a thick double coat. While they are both silver, the Korat is generally darker than the Russian Blue. Both cats have green eyes, but the Korat's eyes are more olive-green, while the Russian Blue's eyes are emerald. The two cats also have different personalities!
Hope this helps!
How do you tell the difference between Korat and Russian Blues ? thank you Ed at frogisus@yahoo.com !
