Overview

Burmese

The Burmese is a charming, medium-sized breed from Myanmar (formerly Burma) with a distinctive satin-like coat that feels like polished silk. Renowned for their exceptionally social, people-oriented personality, Burmese cats are sometimes called "velcro cats" for their insistence on being close to their humans at all times. Their warm, compact bodies and loving nature make them one of the most devoted companion cats in existence.
