About

The American Burmese is the North American standard of the Burmese breed, developed separately from the British Burmese and distinguished by a rounder, more cobby body, broader head, and larger round eyes. Like all Burmese, it descends from Wong Mau, a cat brought from Burma to the United States in 1930. American Burmese are compact and heavy-boned cats with a satin-like short coat available in several colors, with sable (dark brown) being traditional. They are extremely affectionate, people-oriented cats often described as dog-like. Health concerns specific to the American type include a genetic predisposition to craniofacial defects. The breed CFA registers simply as "Burmese" is this American type, treated as a separate breed from the European Burmese.
