While
Burmese can be seen in a large variety of colors, only four are recognized as
breed standard. Those colors include sable, which is the most popular color,
champagne, blue, and platinum. No barring or spotting should be present in the
coat and it should have the soft glossy finish they are known for. Eye color
should be gold or yellow.
Differing
from other cats breeds by not having a large level of independence, they can be
very clingy and right under your feet. It is recommended they not be left alone
for very long periods of time Burmese have been known to like car rides. A big
perk of the breed is that they love human attention and do wonderfully with
kids and other animals. They have been compared to dogs in many instances.
Going along
with being social, these have been known to be very vocal kitties. Owners have
stated their meow is softer than their Siamese counter parts but can still be a
lot to take in. It is common to need a break from your cat because they can be
so talkative and clingy.
It seems
that this breed of cat may have found the fountain of youth because they keep
many kitten traits even into their adult lives. Continuing to play and learn
new tricks including fetch and tag. Those adult lives last anywhere from
sixteen to eighteen years with a very small chance of getting sick. The only
genetic illness passed on is gingivitis, which they can thank their Siamese
ancestors for.
