European Burmese

Cat breed profile

The European Burmese cat is a charming and intelligent breed developed in Europe to preserve the traditional Burmese look and temperament. They are medium-small in size with a sleek, glossy short coat that comes in several colors including sable and champagne. Known for their affectionate and social nature, they enjoy interactive play and companionship, making them excellent pets for families and individuals alike.

This breed adapts well to indoor living and is comfortable in apartments, provided they receive regular mental and physical stimulation. Grooming needs are minimal, requiring only weekly brushing to maintain their coat's shine. While generally healthy, European Burmese cats may be prone to certain breed-specific health tendencies, so regular veterinary care is important.

Ideal owners are those who can offer attention, playtime, and a loving environment. Their friendly disposition makes them good with children and other pets, and they often form strong bonds with their human families.
