Like most animals that have an exotic background, Khao Manee are said to be royal cats. Oftentimes, this description infers that they were really adored by royalty – like Corgis are by Queen Elizabeth.
Sometimes exotic and designed breeds like the Minskin struggle to acquire recognition from the breeding associations. The Khao Manee has no such difficulties, as it is not a designer cat per se.
Khao Manees tend to be fairly playful and are not shy. They love to explore their environments and are active during their play sessions.
These are one of those pets that don’t do very well when left alone for long stretches of time. Separation anxiety comes from being alone, feeling neglected, and ultimately, being bored.
Although Khao Manees are white, sometimes kittens are born with a different color. This is a product of genetics.
When it comes to Khao Manees, you’re talking about what may be the rarest bred cat in the world – and definitely rare in the US.
