Description
The Burmese is an elegant, medium-sized cat whose body shape is neither thin nor chubby, but somewhere in between. The eyes have a slight slant. The Burmese comes in a range of colours, including brown, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, seal tortie, brown tortie, blue tortie, chocolate tortie and lilac tortie. The coat is short and silky, satin-smooth and very glossy.
Burmese are excellent cat companions, full of playfulness and loving devotion. Feline friends that stick by your side as if attached there. Burmese are active and very intelligent, love to play, particularly when you are involved in the game. Burmese are extremely devoted, people-oriented cats that require a significant time commitment. Like the Siamese, Burmese can be vocal, but usually only when something is wrong, like empty food dishes. Then they’ll repeat their complaint until you take care of the problem. When speaking to their favorite humans, they have a variety of sweet, expressive meows at their command, which they use to get their thoughts across. Burmese can be determined cats. Once they have started on a course of action, such as climbing into your lap or diving into your plate, you might as well give in and accept the inevitable. Your Burmese cat will outlast you in any battle of wills.
