Burmese Cat

Burmese cats are beautiful little critters that can be great for the whole family. Their short hair is easy to maintain with weekly brushing, and their playful and affectionate personalities and tolerant nature make them ideal for households with children.

When looking for a Burmese cat, Burmese cat breeders are the best place to start. They will usually advertise when they have Burmese cats for sale, and you can find out about the Burmese kittens that they have available. If you are looking for a specific color, such as the lilac Burmese cat, you may have to contact several breeders before you will find what you are looking for.

Burmese cats love people – both their family and strangers alike. They will do whatever they can to win your affection, and remain playful even as adult cats. Female Burmese cats tend to have more of an active personality, and are more likely to poke around the house after their female counterparts, while male Burmese cats prefer to settle down into one lap.

Before adopting a Burmese kitten, you should make sure that you are ready for one. For most Burmese cats, health is not a problem. However, these cats are extremely domesticated and have lost their wild instincts, so they need to be kept strictly indoors for their own safety. Standard health issues for the Burmese cat include the need for regular vet check ups and vaccinations. The Burmese cat breed is very social, and does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. So if your family travels a lot, another breed may be better suited for you.

If you look at a Burmese cat picture, you can see why the Burmese cat has names like Smokey or Coco. Colors can range from silvery platinum to the dark-chocolate colored sable. The United States only recognizes the sable, champagne, blue and platinum, but in other countries there are also brown, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, brown tortie, blue tortie, chocolate tortie, and lilac tortie as well.

If looking for the perfect Burmese cat gift for your Burmese cat lover, there are many vendors that sell breed specific items. Jewelry, coffee mugs, T-shirts, and knickknacks that feature the Burmese abound.

If you are considering a Burmese cat but do not want the work involved with a kitten, you might take a look at Burmese rescue. Rescue groups offer adult cats that have been abandoned for one reason or another and are in need of loving homes.
