Why is this breed so widely recognized?

Mesmerizing Appearance

The origins of the Burmese cat date back to ancient Asia. These animals lived in Thai temples and were considered sacred. Europeans later became acquainted with the breed and quickly fell in love with its unusual appearance.

Burmese cats are medium-sized, with an average height of 30 cm at the shoulders. They have a well-developed skeleton and strong muscles. An adult cat weighs between 3 and 6 kg. The head is round, the muzzle slightly elongated and short, with widely spaced, moderately sized ears.

Their eyes are slanted towards the nose, large, and round, typically amber or golden. The eye color may darken with age.

The body is proportional, with elegant legs. The tail is long and tapers at the end. Their short, single-colored fur lacks an undercoat, and the belly fur is slightly lighter in color.

Wonderful Temperament

Burmese cats are known for their intelligence, human orientation, and neatness. They are ideal for families with children and thrive in such environments.

One of the key traits, regardless of price or pedigree, is their ability to learn. Burmese cats are not meant to lounge on the couch and sleep for hours. They demand attention and love to be active and playful, a trait that persists throughout their lives.

However, they are not suited to being alone. If you cannot give them enough attention, it is advisable to get a companion for them.

Easy to Care For

The lack of an undercoat in Burmese cats makes it easy to care for their coat. Regular brushing will enhance the sheen and smoothness of their fur. Frequent bathing is not necessary unless they soil their paws and coat. Kittens are naturally clean and groom themselves from a young age.

To prevent dental issues, which are common in Burmese cats, you should regularly brush their teeth with a special brush and toothpaste and have them checked by a vet at least once a year.

According to owners, maintaining a proper diet prevents health problems. Experts recommend feeding them high-quality solid food and dry kibble. Their diet should include:

• Fish
• Meat
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Grains and vegetables

Avoid forcing them to eat anything, as it may cause stress.

Common health issues in Burmese cats include diabetes and hypokalemia. Limiting sweets and carbohydrates can prevent diabetes, while a diet rich in potassium and other nutrients can help prevent hypokalemia.
