Brutus

Et tu, Brutus? My goodness, what a sad little face on this Roman senator . . . He looks like he just lost his last, best friend. And maybe he did. There's very little we know about him, but he does closely resemble a breed called the Korat.

According to the CFA (Cat Fancy Assoc.), “The eyes of the Korat are like those of no other cat; expressive and oversized for the face with a depth and intense gaze that takes your breath away…as sparkling as the ‘dewdrops on a lotus leaf.’ ” Like all newborn kittens at first the eyes are blue, changing to amber with a green tinge around the pupil during adolescence. Then, when the cat reaches approximately two to four years of age, the eyes are luminous green."

In Thailand, their native country, Korats are considered good luck, because "they are the color of silver, signifying wealth; they are the color of rain clouds, with eyes the color of young rice, meaning good crops. " And, as you'll notice in one of his pictures, he is sometimes blessed with a shower of golden rain across his face ;-)

Do you need a little good luck? Then please visit Brutus today. You can find him addressing the crowds at the Wilsonville Petsmart.
