Burmese Cat Personality
According to the breed standard, the Burmese cat is intelligent, gregarious, and has a pleasant expression. If properly nurtured and socialized, it will also have a similar character. Engaging and lively, the Burmese will enjoy playing with their family and learn how to fetch toys. Their insatiable curiosity may get them into danger since they will investigate every open doorway, whether it leads to a different room, a car, or a delivery van! Friendly and outgoing with family and guests, the Burmese will like attention and will complain if they don't receive enough of it! Overall, the Burmese cat is a loving and affectionate companion that thrives on human interaction. They are known for their vocal nature and will not hesitate to communicate their needs and desires to their owners.
Burmese Cat Fun Facts
Although they look pretty sleek and petite, the Burmese cat weight can reach 5.4 kg, making them heavier than the average cat. They are also commonly referred to as “bricks wrapped in silk” because of their heavy weight.
There are two versions of the Burmese cat, the British and the American with the difference being that British Burmese cats have a wedge-shaped head and slightly slanted eyes while the American version has a stockier build and a broader head, with rounded eyes.
Burmese cats are said to have been viewed as sacred in Myanmar and celebrated by Buddhist monks in monasteries and temples.
Outdoors or Indoors
Not really suited to a completely indoor life, yet sufficiently curious and inquisitive as to land themselves in serious trouble, the Burmese is in need of a large home with a secure outdoor space such as a covered run or cat-proofed fence. This is a serious consideration for this breed as they are very active, and will become stressed and potentially destructive without the necessary space to explore, jump, climb, play, and supervise.
Appearance
So this is going to differ slightly, depending on where you live. There are, in point of fact, two Burmese cats.1 Though they originated from the same stock and most cat registries don't consider them to be genetically different breeds, there are still distinct differences between the American Burmese and the European Burmese.The European (sometimes called "traditional") Burmese is the more slender of the two, with a wedge-shaped head, small, pointed ears, and almond-shaped eyes. Meanwhile, the American (or "contemporary") Burmese is notably stockier with a wider head, ears that are slightly wider at the base than the European, and eyes that are much rounder and more expressive.
