Burmilla
CatWeight:
8-10 lbs.
Overall Appearance
- Breeders have worked to maintain the Burrmese body type and the tipped coat of
the chinchilla progenitor. Like the Burmese, Burmillas are medium-size cats with
compact, muscular bodies and round faces with short muzzles. The Burmilla has
a soft, short, close-lying, light-colored coat with hairs tipped with a contrasting
color. Many colors are recognized. Personality
- Similar in temperament to Burmese, Burmiillas are sociable, playful, and affectionate.
Like their Burmese cousins, they appreciate cuddling and companionship and do
well with other animals and children. Breed
Fact - Burmillas are the happy result of an accidental breeding between a
chinchilla Persian named Sanquist and a lilac Burmese named Faberge. Their four
kittens, born in 1981, became the foundation stock of a new breed. |
