'Si Sawat' means good fortune and was the name given to the Korats in their native country of Thailand where they were much prized for their beauty and sweet natures. There exists a collection of ancient Thai manuscripts, written between 1350 and 1767, which include descriptions of this 'blue' cat with hairs so smooth, with roots like clouds and tips like silver and eyes that shine like dewdrops. Occasionally, the coats of some Korats wre almost indigo in hue and were known as 'black pearls'.

My items are shipped from Canada and I use Canada Post - we do not have a media rate or first class shipping as in the US. Canada Post charges by the size and weight of the items. When you receive your parcel, shipping costs do not reflect the 15% HST we have to pay in Nova Scotia on stamps. I do not ship on weekends or holidays as there is no mail service available at Canada Post on these days. Please remember that sometimes items are held up by your country's Customs which can extend shipping times.
Always happy to combine items when possible to save you on postage.
IF YOU PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I SEND YOU A COMBINED SHIPPING INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. Combined shipping is based on the FINAL WEIGHT of your package - please email me the item numbers if you would like an exact rate for the items you are bidding on. Thanks.
