| General |
The overall impression of the ideal Burmese would
be a cat of medium size and rich, solid color with substantial
bone structure, good muscular development and a surprising
weight for its size. This together with its expressive eyes
and sweet face, presents a totally distinctive cat which is
comparable to no other breed. |
| Head and Ears |
The head should be pleasingly rounded
without flat planes, whether viewed from
front or side. Face should be full, with
considerable breadth between the eyes,
tapering slightly to a short, well-developed
muzzle. In profile there should be a visible
nose break. The chin is firmly rounded,
reflecting a proper bite. The head sits
on a short, well-developed neck. Ears to
be medium in size and set well apart on a
rounded skull; alert, tilting slightly
forward, broad at base and slightly rounded tips. |
| Eyes |
The eyes are large but not protuberant,
set well apart and with round aperture, with
color ranging from yellow to gold, the greater
the depth and brilliance the better. |
| Body, Legs, Feet, Tail |
Body medium in size, muscular in development,
and presenting a somewhat compact appearance.
Allowance to be made for larger size in males.
An ample, rounded chest with back level from shoulder
to tail. Hips are the same width as the shoulders.
While the Burmese is a medium size cat, consideration
should be given to proper proportion and total balance.
Legs are well proportioned to body with substantial bone
structure. The feet are rounded and well knit and are able
to support the weight of the cat without splaying. Tail
to be straight of medium thickness and length, and free
from vertebral defects. Five toes in front and four in
the rear. |
| Coat |
Fine, glossy, satin-like in texture, short and very close-lying. |
| Condition |
Perfect physical condition, with
excellent muscle tone. There should be no evidence of obesity, paunchiness, weakness or apathy. |
| Penalize |
Indication of points or tabby marks on legs or ears. |

They will take the time to answer your questions, and continue to keep the cat our number
