History & background

The modern Burmese descends from a single brown cat named Wong Mau, brought from Burma to the United States in the 1930s and bred with Siamese. Distinct American and British types developed later.

Is a Burmese right for you?

It is best for owners who want an interactive, affectionate cat and are home often, since Burmese dislike being left alone. They suit families and get along well with children and other pets.

Care & health

The short, satiny coat is very low-maintenance, needing only occasional brushing, and sheds little. Provide daily play and companionship to satisfy their social, energetic nature. Buy from breeders who screen for diabetes, hypokalemia, and cranial deformities.
