Have you decided to get a Burmese cat? First, take a close look at photos of Burmese cats to understand their features and main breed differences.

How to Identify an Adult Burmese

When looking at photos of Burmese cats, you can see the distinct features of their appearance:

• Strong, muscular body of medium size
• Straight back and well-developed chest
• Wedge-shaped, rounded head with a strong jaw
• Long, elegant neck
• Widely set ears, slightly tilted forward
• Large eyes of amber or golden color
• Proportionate legs and a straight, medium-length tail

Their short, dense, and soft fur is evident even in photographs – making you want to reach out and pet them.

There are European and American varieties of the breed. Photos of Burmese cats clearly show the main difference: the European variety has a straight upper eye line and a rounded lower line.

How to Identify a Burmese Kitten

Familiarizing yourself with photos of Burmese kittens can help you avoid mistakes when purchasing from less reputable breeders.

In the pictures, you’ll notice that the kittens are mostly light-colored. This is another breed characteristic – the final color develops as the animal grows. The presence of faint stripes is not a flaw. They will fade over time.

The kittens have small bodies with a straight back from shoulders to tail. Both males and females are slender with round heads, wide-open eyes, and an intelligent expression. Their large ears are set wide apart with rounded tips. The fur is dense, silky, and satin-like. Burmese offspring are significantly smaller compared to other breeds. Their chest and skeletal structure develop slowly.

Many kittens are born with blue eyes, which later change to yellow.
