CNA Five native Thai cat breeds crowned national pet symbols

Thailand has officially recognised five native cat breeds — Suphalak, Korat, Siamese, Konja and Khao Manee — as national pet symbols, joining the Thai elephant, fighting fish and Naga among the country’s emblems.

The move has excited breeders but drawn mixed reactions from animal rescuers, who warn that Thailand is still struggling with a growing stray-cat population. #thailand #thainews
