Burmese anyone?


In the continuing hunt for a Kompanion for Kizzy, I have contacted a person from the Burmese Cat Club about rehoming. I have only known one Burmese, who was an absolute darling.

Does anyone have any insight into this delightful breed?

My only experience with a Burm was meeting one at a cat show quite a while back......a stunning girl and very very friendly. Purrs ad head butts.

Re: Burmese anyone?


The only insight I have about the Burmese is what I have read and they always come across as a fantastic breed to own, they always seem to be spoken about as a lovely friendly affectionate breed, one that I had contemplated before I went for Maine Coons.

Re: Burmese anyone?


My Mum always had burmese - chocolates and browns. Apart from one that was a bit stand offish, the rest were absolute charmers. Laid back, affectionate, clever and very friendly. Also v beautiful cats.

Re: Burmese anyone?


Forgot - they were also quite chatty, not as much a Siamese but more than a 'normal' (whatever that is) cat.
