Why Burmese?

About the Breed

The European Burmese is a breed in which elegance is combined with amazing warmth of character. These cats are known not only for their silky coat and expressive amber eyes but above all for their deep attachment to people. Burmese are very social and communication-oriented. It is important for them to be near: to accompany you around the house, to participate in everyday life, to rest nearby on the sofa, or to meet you at the door after a long day.
