About Burmese | History of Burmese | Caring for Burmese
"I can't have a cat! My
husband (mother, wife, spouse, etc.) can't stand cats!" Obviously such people
haven't fallen under the spell of a Burmese. Nearly every Burmese owner and breeder will tell
you that all you have to do is take a Burmese cat or kitten home and everyone who comes in contact with this delightful
creature will become an instant convert. Many "cat haters" have become cat-loving enthusiasts because of an
experience with a Burmese.
Burmese are people-oriented and almost doglike in
personality. They shadow their owners and desire to give and receive affection. Burmese are true lap-loving
companions; quick to learn and extremely loyal. Burmese enjoy being with people. They delight
in "helping" manage the house. The females like to be at "center stage" and assume an active role ruling
the household. The males prefer to supervise from the lap position; they are more laid back and less opinionated.
The ideal Burmese is a "cat of medium size
with substantial bone structure, good muscular development and surprising weight for its size. This together with a rounded
head, expressive eyes and a sweet disposition, present a totally distinct cat which is comparable to no other breed."
Their large, round eyes range from yellow to gold and their coats are fine, glossy, short, and satiny. While many colors of
Burmese are recognized around the world, CFA recognizes only four colors: sable, champagne, blue and platinum. Each Burmese
is judged according to the CFA standard.
No matter what color or gender, a Burmese cat will
steal your heart while
convincing you that you meant to give it away all
along!
