  1. A lot of information here is incorrect! Please do some more research, especially about the Suphalak, Samsawet, Konja and Si-Sawat. You have the eye color all wrong on them. The Khao Maneee can also have green eyes or one green and one blue. It's rare, but can happen. I have a KM with one green eye and one blue. I also have a true Suphalak and they do not have dark points like the Burmese cat. SuphalaksMUST have GOLD eyes and be a solid copper brown color to be true Suphalak. There are only about two confirmed true Suphalaks in Thailand. I have one! The Samsawet and the Si-Sawat have green eyes! There are only about two Samsawets confirmed in Thailand and the news has made a big deal of them because they have been thought to be extinct.
