About the Burmese

The Burmese is a compact, muscular cat of medium size, renowned for its surprisingly heavy weight for its stature, its sleek, satin-like short coat, and its captivating, large golden eyes. Bred initially from a single brown female, the breed is known for its extroverted, affectionate, and playful "dog-like" personality, forming very strong bonds with its human family.
