To my mind, and I don't hide my bias, the Burmese encapsulates everything that one could want from a cat. I am never suprised to hear of people that say they don't like cats but still show fondness for a Burmese that they have met. Somewhere between the elegant svelte foreign type and (some might say) demanding personality of the siamese and orientals, and the cobby build and aloofness of the British shorthairs the Burmese is a natural looking cat that maintains a definite and unmistakable foreign quality and is always at the centre of things in its unrelenting quest for affection. In my experience Burmese do not discriminate in their affections (mine are to be found cuddling up to any available member of the household, be they human, cat or dog) and fit well into family life. One thing that a Burmese demands is love and attention, so do not consider living with one unless you are prepared to give this in abundance. I do not let my Burmese roam free outside the house as we live in a built-up area; mine have yet to display any strong survival tendencies when it comes to aggressive dogs or cats, or unfriendly humans. Perhaps they've been socialised too well and treat all as friends. When we introduced our first Burmese to the household she immediately picked our most unfriendly moggie to cuddle up to, who soon found out that hissing and spitting didn't seem to put her off and just gave in to the Burmese charm. I think Burmese believe that the household revolves around them, and more often than not this proves to be the case |
