Unfortunately, if you have to ask then Gatoua is probably not a Khao Manee. This is a breed that is rare outside of Thailand and typically comes with a pedigree, or paperwork confirming breed and lineage.
That said, you can always submit a sample for DNA testing. You can find more information at the link below. Regardless of breed, you have a gorgeous cat.
