RobU Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I remember someone saying in another post a few months ago that cats weren't 'natural' to Thailand. (I responded with the fact that temple cats have been around in Thailand for thousands of years) I think this disproves that theory Edited October 6, 2022 by RobU spelling correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I thought it might have been an elephant. Seeing as how they are supposed to be revered here in Thailand. But more difficult to handle than a cat I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact Thailand gifted cats to Catherine the Great of Russia. There are 2 breeds of Thai cat, the Siamese cat and the Mekong Bobtail cat. We have 3 bobtails as pets in Nong Khai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
