Burma Cat Breed
Looking for a friend? Consider a Burmese cat. This beautiful creature will win your heart, even if you prefer dogs, thanks to its open, independent nature, energy, remarkable intelligence, and wisdom.
The breed began centuries ago in Burma (now Myanmar). The inhabitants valued these animals, letting them live in temples, where monks provided good care. According to legend, the Burmese cat accompanied the soul of a deceased owner to the afterlife, ensuring peace. Another belief was that the pet brought happiness and wealth to its owners. This breed was predominantly owned by aristocrats.
When the breed arrived in Europe at the end of the 19th century, it was called the “black Siamese,” but by 1934 the first standard was established. Since then, the breed has been winning people’s hearts.

To Our Clients
Dear friends, acquiring a kitten is a very serious and responsible step, as from this moment, the kitten becomes a full-fledged member of your family, and you bear full responsibility for its care and proper development. Our top priority is to raise absolutely healthy Burmese kittens, both genetically and physically. However, it is equally important for us to ensure that they are placed in a good and responsible family where they will receive everything necessary for a full life. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, and we will gladly help you find the most amazing creation in the world from the "Burmese cat" breed in any color you like.
Choose Your Purpose
The price of a Burmese kitten depends on the purpose of acquisition. If you plan to buy a pet for further breeding, the price will be significantly higher than for a “pet,” as in this case, you will also receive breeding rights, which will allow you to register litters and obtain pedigrees in the future. When acquiring a Burmese kitten as a “pet,” the cost will be substantially lower, and the kittens are handed over to their new owners already spayed or neutered, with a full set of vaccinations, a pedigree, an international veterinary passport, microchipped, and trained to use the litter box and scratching post.
We also offer mating services for Burmese cats. For this, you need to provide a certificate of the absence of venereal diseases for your pet, which must be no older than 10 days from the date of examination.

Burmese Cat Breed Description
The Burmese cat has ancient origins. In ancient times, animals with similar descriptions lived in the temples and wealthy families of Bangkok. The local museum houses about 20 artworks depicting these cats, dating from the 14th to the 18th centuries.
It’s no surprise that Burmese cats are of particular interest to geneticists, as they were known before Siamese cats. The breed is used to create hybrids; for example, Tonkinese cats are the result of crossing Burmese with Siamese, and Bombay cats with American Shorthairs. The breed is actively used for developing new varieties due to its good genetics.
Breed Standard
The standard describes the characteristics of the Burmese cat and its appearance. The ideal specimen that breeders strive for includes:
- Sturdy body, powerful rounded chest, and straight back.
- Rounded head with broad cheekbones. The forehead is smoothly rounded, cheeks are without hollows, and the chin is firm. There is a small depression at the base of the nose.
- Expressive large eyes of a golden or amber hue. Depending on the variety of the breed – American or European – the eyes are either round or slightly elongated.
- Triangular ears, large, set high, slightly rounded at the top.
- Standard paws with five toes in front and four in back. The hind legs are slightly longer than the front.
- Life expectancy ranges from 10 to 15 years. Weight varies between 5-9 kg. The pregnancy of females lasts up to 70 days.
Colors
The description of the Burmese cat breed lists 10 official colors:
- 6 primary colors: sable, chocolate, blue, lilac, red, and cream.
- 4 tortoiseshell colors: lilac, brown, chocolate, and blue.
The coat color is uneven, being slightly lighter on the lower part of the body. A kitten can be born light, with the coat developing its main color as it grows.
What’s Special About This Breed
Before delving into the description of the Burmese cat, you should look at photos. This is a medium-sized animal with a sturdy skeleton and well-developed muscles. For its size, it has an unexpectedly heavy weight. Along with its round face, unusual eyes, and intelligent expression, it makes an unforgettable sight.
The breed is indeed unique. Perfect poise, strong muscles, lively and spontaneous nature, and no signs of weakness or apathy.
If you carefully study the breed description, Burmese cats stand out from other cats with their unique colors. These are caused by a specific gene that lightens the primary color. Thus, a sable cat is actually the color of dark chocolate or redwood, and the chocolate color resembles the shade of coffee with milk.
