Good to know

  • Every Burmese traces back to Wong Mau, a cat brought from Burma to the United States in 1930.
  • American and European lines differ in head shape and are judged separately.
  • Known for staying kitten-like in behaviour well into adulthood.

Who it suits

Households where somebody is usually home; it wants involvement, not just company.

Care

Almost no grooming. Plan company and play — a bored Burmese becomes a noisy one.

History of the breed

In 1930 a small brown cat named Wong Mau was brought from Burma to San Francisco by Joseph Thompson. Bred to Siamese and studied carefully, she founded the breed — the first cat whose ancestry was worked out by scientific study rather than guesswork.
