If you are looking for a medium-sized short-haired cat, the black Burmese cat might catch your interest. One of the intriguing features of this breed is that they seem lighter than they actually are, which becomes evident as soon as you hold them.

More About the Black Burmese Cat

Officially, the black Burmese cat is known as sable. In reality, it is not jet black but chestnut. You won’t find Burmese cats as dark as night; they have a lightening gene that causes their coat to appear lighter, adding a unique touch to the breed.

The body color is dark brown, varying from rich cream to deep chestnut depending on their genetic background. The only areas where blackness is acceptable are the ears and face. The paws are a shade of dark chocolate.

The black Burmese cat is more common than other colors and remains highly sought after and popular because:

• No other breed has this particular shade of brown
  
• The color looks unforgettable on the cat’s sleek, shiny coat, emphasizing their grace and mystery
