About the Breed
When looking at a European Burmese cat, one might imagine a proud Asian princess, unafraid to express her emotions. Her intelligent eyes seem to hold the secrets of the universe.
The Burmese cat captivates with its beauty. It is extremely famous in Europe. Originally, the breed as we know it today appeared in the United States. However, breeders worked to distinguish a type different from the American version by crossing it with Siamese cats, resulting in a variety of colors.
In 1955, a new standard was presented in the United Kingdom, which differed significantly from the classic version. It was distinct enough to be categorized separately, thus giving rise to the European Burmese breed.
Appearance and Colors
The distinctive features of the European Burmese include:
- Eyes with a straight upper line and rounded lower line, resembling a lemon in shape.
- Broad-based ears with rounded tips.
- Wedge-shaped head.
- Graceful, slender body.
- Elegant, elongated legs.
The fur is soft and silky to the touch. The recognized colors of the European Burmese include:
- Bluish-gray with a slight tinny sheen.
- Classic dark brown.
- Milk chocolate or caramel.
- Light gray with a pinkish tint (lilac).
- Pastel cream.
- Warm orange (red) – rare and valuable.
- Tortoiseshell, featuring a mix of the primary color with spots.
Due to the lack of an undercoat, the cat hardly sheds.

Personality and Behavior
The personality of the European Burmese is no different from the American Burmese. Whichever type you choose, you’ll get a loving and joyful purebred animal that will consistently lift your spirits and bring happiness.
A unique trait of the Burmese is their love of talking. Their vocal range is extremely broad: they purr, meow, growl, and even snore. They have a bright and expressive facial expression. They will greet you in the evening and tell you about their day. They form strong attachments to people and will follow them everywhere. Hosting a gathering at home? Your Burmese will be on the sofa with you. Doing chores around the house? They’ll follow you from room to room.
The European Burmese gets along well with children, becoming their friend and playmate. If you can’t get a dog, consider a Burmese cat. According to reviews, they are easy to train in basic commands and will love their owner more than their home.
