Burmese Cats: Gray (Blue) Variety
Burmese cats come in various colors, with gray being one of the less common yet highly elegant shades. The subtle, silvery tint adds a touch of nobility and distinction to the feline’s appearance.
Blue or Gray Burmese?
In breed standards, there is no “gray Burmese” color; it is officially called blue. The body color ranges from light silver with a slight smoky hue to warm gray with a hint of reddish.
As with other colors, the fur is not uniformly colored—a distinctive feature of the breed. The belly is lighter, gradually darkening towards the face, with the darkest color on the nose tip.
Various shades of the blue Burmese can be seen in the provided photos.
Distinguishing Blue Burmese from Other Colors
Breeders have noted that the blue Burmese is special. They stand out for their calm temperament, kindness, and intelligence, often outshining their differently colored siblings. Independent and assertive, they communicate their desires clearly to their owners.
Such flattering characteristics are not surprising when considering folklore. Traditionally, gray-colored cats are believed to possess magical abilities—a belief reinforced when you look into the amber eyes of a Burmese.
These cats are perfect for intellectuals who appreciate subtle beauty. Affectionate and noble pets, they are quick to show gratitude and easily forgive.
According to Folklore, Having a Blue Burmese Cat Can:
- Maintain comfort and tranquility in the home
- Protect from daily misfortunes
- Bring peace and harmony—perhaps due to their healing presence
