Khaomanee Cats from Thailand

Rare odd eyed Khaomanee Cats from Thailand

The Khao Manee (pronounced cow manee) cat is a very rare breed of cat which originated in Thailand hundreds of years ago. They were prized by Thai Royalty and treated like royalty. The Thai Royals were the only people who were allowed to own and breed them. This cat has only been available in the United States since 1999.


The Khao Manee is thought to bring good luck to their owners. Their name means  "White Gem."  


  They have bright colorful eyes and are also called the Diamond Eye cat. Eyes can be blue, amber, yellow, green, or odd eyed.  In Thailand the odd-eyed Khao Manee cat is considered to be auspicious, and is considered a good luck cat.

Breed Preservation Plan

Khao Manee is a breed of cat that developed naturally. There are very few natural breeds of cats left in the world and these cats need to be preserved. 


We only breed cats who have been imported from Thailand or descended from cats imported from Thailand. There are very few breeders in the United States. Khaomanee have only been bred in the United States since 1999.
