I've been planning this combination for some years... I wanted just this pedigree for my new kittens out of Caput Mundi to get some of the traits I prefer in these lines and then decided to go with a line breeding, importing Millennium (Lennie) from the States... This is Caput Mundi's first litter and... a big surprise... 3 of the kittens are Blue Pointed, meaning both Caput Mundi and Lennie carry the BP gene.
In FIFe, BP kittens can only be registered and showed as "XSH" (Non Recognized Shorthair Breed) but the two Korat kittens could be showed as Korats no problem.
In UK the BP kittens have been recognized as a different breed and named "Thai Blue Point" and can now be bred and showed in GCCF. For further information on recessive colours, have a look at the Koratworld website where you'll also find the UK Registration Policy which regulates the recognition of "Thai Blue Points" and "Thai Lilacs".
In any case, even if these beautiful Blue Point creatures are so fascinating and 'special' in many ways, they CANNOT BE CONSIDERED NOR CALLED KORATS as Korats are SILVER BLUE ONLY FROM BIRTH TO DEATH
