Collection: Personalised Raas Gifts

Originally from Indonesia this breed has physical characteristics that are similar to leopards and wild bobcats. They are larger than typical house cats and have a variety of myths and legends about them. Due to their mythology and landrace status these cats are not often kept as pets, meaning that height data, weight data, and common health conditions are difficult to find.

The Raas cat is named after the Indonisian island they live on, the island of Raas. While we aren't sure on how old this breed is, we are sure that they are very old due to the amount of myths about them. Some of these myths include bad luck befalling anyone who takes one of these cats off of their island, especially if the person removing them from the island isn't married. Australian feline expert Lasley Morgan says that these cats may be related to other asian cats such as the Korat cat. These cats are what's known as Landrace animals, meaning that they are very well adapted to their natural environment.

Raas cats can be nervous and are unlikely to warm up to new owners or people quickly. Once they do warm up to the people in their lives they can be affectionate to their chosen humans. Because of their nervous nature they may not get on with children or other animals. They are intelligent however they can be stubborn and difficult to train. To train them properly may take a creative and patient owner. This breed was used to get rid of rats and other pests so they are voracious hunters and may bring a lot of "presents" home for their owners.
