Burmilla Cat
History/ profile of Burmilla cat
The breed of Burmilla cats originated from a random pairing
in England in 1981. The entire pedigree of modern cats of the Burmilla breed
can be spent on two individuals belonging to Baroness Miranda von Kirchberg.
Her husband was a breeder. Burmese cats and one of the two aforementioned
paired with Persian cat chinchilla. As a result, there were
Burmese-type kittens with a silvery black color.
The breed was called Burmilla (from the words Burmese
chinchilla), but, some of the cats in the breeding program showed a longer
coat. Such kittens were considered simply a bad product, as breeders sought to
get shorthaired individuals. Of these, later formed a separate breed,
called Chantilly Tiffany (not to be confused with American Tiffany
Chantilly). It originated, one might say, by accident, as a result of the
Burmilla cat breeding program.
Cats breed Burmilla can have different colors, not only
black. Various organizations of cat lovers at first were extremely reluctant to
assign statuses, however, through prolonged pressure breeders managed to
succeed. Now the breed of Burmilla cats is recognized by many world
felinological organizations, such as TICA, WCF, CFA (the latter granted
official status only in 2014).

Description
Burmilla is a truly aristocratic breed, as can be seen at
first sight. Further acquaintance can only strengthen this impression, as
softness, kindness, and affection, careful behavior and a living mind instantly
have to themselves. They are extremely devoted to their master and their
family.
These cats have the perfect hair - that's what everyone who
touches them thinks. They have a strong body, a rounded snout, medium-sized
ears and paws. There are all sorts of variations of the shades of the Burmilla
cat, but their charm remains the same. Life expectancy is about 15 years.
Personality
Gentle and friendly, these cats are perfect as a companion
to everyone. Whether you've had the experience of pets or not, Burmilla, thanks
to its soft character and natural ability to feel the environment, will not
create unnecessary difficulties for you. Despite the playfulness and some
thirst for attention, the negative sides of the Persians were left
"overboard", so we have a devoted and good friend.
They are very attached to the family and place of residence,
and often strongly worried when moving or changing owners. In addition, they do
not tolerate loneliness, and therefore if you - a lonely person who 10 hours a
day are absent, to start a Burmilla should not. These pets are smart and curious,
they try to find the company of the owner, but at the same time rarely show
intrusiveness.
They get along well with everyone - and with guests at home,
with children, and with other animals. It can be said that the Burmese have an
internal understanding of the situation, and give the impression of
well-mannered, intelligent pets. If anyone is interested in a cat, it will be
interesting to watch its every movement, amusingly tilting his head. Moderately
playful and active.
