| 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.
