Ok, so i was looking up some lore on Rath and i found that there were Kor there! How did Kor travel from Zendikar to Rath?

Auctually I think Kor is a re-used name. Kor on Rath were members of the shadow races. Not cat people like on zendikar, so I think they just figured people would forget about the old lore and re-used the name

I didn't realize the Kor from Zendikar were cat-people?

They aren't. They are white skinned/haired humanoids

Okay, it should be noted that while Kor might not be a Zendikar-specific race, they do originate from Zendikar, a fact I previously wasn't aware of.
As for how they got to Rath, I'm assuming the Phyrexians stole them from Zendikar since those Phyrexians did have technology that could make travel (or kidnapping, I guess) between planes possible. After the Rathi Overlay, the Kor on Rath were transferred to Dominaria.

GoldGhost012 has it right. The Rathi Kor were kidnapped from Zendikar, which is their home plane.

That's actually pretty interested, I wasn't aware of it either. I thought they just existed in separate planes. I was pretty damn certain they weren't cats though lol.

That is interesting... glad to be corrected. I must have had the kor and the Leonin mixed up. Tis an interesting bit of information!

The same way elves traveled from Lorwyn to Zendikar. Meaning, Kor aren't a Zendikar-specific race.
