History of the Burmese Cat

In Myanmar (formerly called Burma), legend says that Cats of this breed were considered sacred and celebrated in temples and monasteries. They were discovered in England in the late nineteenth century but were not as popular as the Siamese cat.

Burmese and European Burmese cats are two types of this breed recognized by the Cat Breeders Association. The Cat Breeders' Board of Directors, which sets standards for cats in the United Kingdom, approved Burmese cats in 1952. The International Cats Association, an organization at the forefront of keeping genetic records of cats, accepted their breed in 1979.

According to the Board of Directors of Cat Breeders, the breed has gradually decreased in England and Europe. It was revived in 1930 using the first true Burmese.

Take care of a Burmese cat

The fur of the Burmese cat is short, soft, and has a shiny luster. But it requires minimal maintenance due to less hair loss. Cleaning the cat with a rubber brush once a week should be to strip away the layer of dead hair and keep it shiny.

It is also important to keep your cat active. Burmese cats are fun and lively and do best in active homes with families who like to play and interact with their pets. These cats are very trainable.

Burmese cat character

Burmese cats' playful personality spans the period postpartum through adulthood. They are described as almost dog-like in their devotion to their human being, being watched, cuddled while reading or watching TV, and sleeping in their beds at night. Females are more likely to be in charge of the household, while males are to oversee the comfort of the lap.

Burmese are compatible with other pets in the family and children as well. They are athletes, play, and are happy in an active family. They have a soft and pleasant voice and enjoy talking with their owners.

These Cats love to get attention from humans and can become upset if they are separated for long periods of time. Burmese cats have strong relationships with their owners. They may need a few weeks to adjust to their new home, but these bonds develop very quickly.

Breeders put cats in homes between the ages of 12 and 16 weeks and they should be spayed for 6 months, especially if they are sold as pets.

Common health problems

Burmese cats are generally healthy, but they can be susceptible to a genetic disease called hypokalemia, which causes weakened skeletal muscles. There is a simple nucleic acid (DNA) test to look for hemo-myopathy caused by the immunodeficiency of the blood (the full name of the disorder).

It is symptomatic in nature and may affect the whole animal or its location may be in the muscles of the neck or extremities. As a result, affected Cats tend to have trouble walking and holding their heads properly.

In addition to hypokalemia, some conditions that you may be prone to include:

• Skull deformities
• Glaucoma, an increase in pressure in the eye, can lead to blindness
• Hypersensitivity syndrome in cats, which leads to increased sensitivity to touch
• Kidney stones caused by oxalate crystals in the urinary tract

Advantages

• The Burmese cat is attentive and loyal.
• Burmese cats are a long-lived breed.

Defects
