In my experience with my own Korat, they can absolutely learn to share attention, but they do have a strong need for feeling special. I introduced a second cat slowly and made sure my Korat still got plenty of one-on-one time, and now they coexist peacefully. They aren't necessarily jealous of other cats, but they do appreciate being the center of your world during focused play or cuddle sessions.

From what I've seen with my own Korat, they're surprisingly adaptable but have a very clear sense of hierarchy. Mine actually bonded deeply with a laid-back Ragdoll, but she definitely expects to be the one who gets the first treat or the warmest lap spot. She's fine sharing as long as she gets priority in little rituals like greeting me at the door or bedtime snuggles.

From my own experience with a Korat, they're not divas who demand the spotlight 24/7, but they have a quiet confidence that expects respect. Mine tolerated a younger Burmese just fine, but she'd deliberately sit between me and the other cat during TV time, not aggressively, just a subtle "I was here first" move. They share well if the other cat defers to them on small things like food bowl order or sleeping spots.

I've had two Korats together for years now, and they're absolutely fine sharing attention as long as I establish clear routines. My older female Korat, Luna, actually enjoys when the younger male gets petted first because she knows her turn with the brush comes right after. They don't compete for my focus but instead have learned to wait their turn, almost like they understand the system I set up.
