Information about the Burmese cat

A medium-sized, Burmese domestic cat is said to have originated in Burma, although records of its early existence have also been discovered in Thailand. The cat was first introduced to the United States in the 1930s. He was raised with Siamese cats in their development and therefore shares certain physical and behavioral similarities with the latter. The evolution of the Burmese was quite different in the United Kingdom. In fact, Burmese are often classified into two groups, namely the American and British Burmese. Both have certain physical differences, the British variety being more oriental in appearance and the American Burmese with a somewhat physical touch.

Burmese are medium-sized cats with an athletic, muscular body. The coat is short, silky in texture and shiny in appearance. Originally, only saber-colored cats were formally recognized. However, other colors are now accepted as well, including blue, brown, cream, chocolate, lilac, and red. The eyes are large and copper to gold in color. Its brilliance and expressive appeal are a source of great beauty to Burmese.

Healthy and active felines, the Burmese do not have any significant medical ailments in their lines. They are, however, very friendly, and while there are reports that they can fight back, many believe that they should not be left outdoors unsupervised for fear of conflicts with feral and feral cats, coyotes, and car accidents.

Burmese are a very loving and tender breed. They are very people-oriented and almost dog-like in their loving attitude towards people. They are deceptively heavy when picked up and are cuddly and adoring by nature. The lustrous coat does not shed or require daily brushing. Less vocal than Siamese, they have a very soft voice. Playful and intelligent, the Burmese quickly establish their presence in the house, taking care of supervising all activities.
