About the Burmese
The Burmese is a medium cat breed originating in Burma (developed in United States). Adult cats typically weigh 8 to 14 pounds and live 15 to 18 years. Typical traits: vocal, people-obsessed, dog-like, playful.
Households where somebody is usually home. Burmese are among the most people-dependent cats and will hold conversations with you. Homes empty for long working days, or adopters wanting an independent cat. Burmese left alone become genuinely distressed.
Adult Burmese need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 40 minutes. The coat is short-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
