Overview & Traits
The Suphalak, or the Maeo Suphalak, are a solid reddish-brown copper colored short-haired breed of domesticated cat originating in Thailand. The Suphalak is a natural breed and should not be confused with the sable Burmese cat, nor a Havana Brown or York Chocolate. A written description and pictorial of the Suphalak first appeared in the ancient Thai manuscripts (written by Buddhist monks) over 300 years ago known as the Tamra Maew.
