Burmese carry surprising weight for their size and have often been
described as "bricks wrapped in silk." Their coats are very short,
satin-like in texture, and generally require little grooming other
than daily petting. There is a range in Burmese head and body
type; the more compact cats with the rounder heads are seen in the
show ring. Burmese have large, expressive eyes that are great
pools of innocence and seductive appeal, irresistible in effect.
These eyes are their most persuasive weapon in an arsenal of
endearing traits that mask an awesome power to hypnotize their
owners into life-time love affairs through which they effortlessly
rule their families.
As kittens, Burmese are quite lively. They often seem clumsy when
they attempt feats beyond their capabilities and land on their
rears with solid little thumps. They will be playful well into
adulthood. As Burmese grow, their high intelligence emerges and
their own individual personalities start to unfold. They mature
into charming, resolute executives who move in and take over a
household, running it efficiently with those big eyes and a velvet
paw. If encouraged, many Burmese converse with their humans, using
soft, sweet voices (they are neither loud nor raucous). They are
good with children, will tolerate the family dog, and if
introduced to it at an early age as something pleasant, most will
enjoy traveling in a car.
