I had a Burmese cat, dark brown and she was the most loving cat ever. I miss her so much.

They are one of the best breed of cats. I just recently lost my 16 yr old Champagne Burmese cat. I got him since he was 3 mos back in 2003.

Such joy to see when people cooperate internationally for a good case. Thank you for your dedication. Love from a Burmese cat owner from Stockholm, Sweden ❤

This is PURE awesomeness. Welcome back home royal cats of Burma.

This video is awesome. I've had Brown Burmese cats all my life! I'm also travelling to burma in Jan and will visit

this is awesome to reintroduce the Burmese to its original home and also impressive is the cat lady from Australia without whom this program would not have come to frution..

I want to thank you for your dedication to this special breed, The Burmese Cat, and taking them back to their Homeland.

Special thanks for reintroducing Burmese cats to Burma. Without their efforts I would have never seen pure Burmese cat breed in my own country.

Amazing video. I love that Burmese cats are living and thriving again in Burma. I started looking at different cat breeds today. I have a 15 year old male, mixed breed named G-Purrs and a year old Bombay cat, she's Black with almost red (sable) in the sunlight, short legs, stocky with round gold eyes. I named her Onyx, she is so loving and active, playing with all of her toys and actually moves the toys to the area she wants to play in and can leap further than any cat I've ever raised. I hope you will do follow up on the Burmese cats now in Burma. Sending love and hugs to all from Onyx and G-Purrs too.

This was such a fascinating program. The Burmese cats are so beautiful. They are loving and always want to be around you.

I was told about Inthar in 2012 when I was staying at the vets guesthouse in Inle. As I have had many Burmese cats over the years I was keen to visit and really surprised by the high quality accommodation the cats enjoyed. You can go into the cat enclosures and play with the cats as like any Burmese cats enjoy human company, they didn’t appear bored and seemed to really enjoy their environment. A wonderful place for any cat lover to visit when at Inle.

I LOVE this documentary. I really want to see some more videos about the Burmese cats in Burma!!

They are the sweetest cat! Mine is on my lap purring up a storm as a watch this!

a great project, hope it succeeds and cheers to the Australian breeder, you're a legend

I have 7 cats left from the 10 I had. There are now Two British Shorthair and 5 Burmese. Of my Burmese 2 are dark brown and 2 are milk chocolate and one Blue. They are an exceptional breed of cat. Loving, always wanting attention, want to be part of what your doing - even when you visit the toilet. you can try locking them out - theyre excellent at opening doors, cupboards, drawers. If they get bored they will chew slippers, newspapers, books, letters and even wooden furniture. One of the cats who died was Coco she loved to chew the corners of the wooden furniture. You can never have just one burmese you need at least 2. theyre very talkative . They love to play and are born knowing how to play fetch! a game they never get bored playing. they also want to sleep with you. They play together, groom each other and play fight each other. Their coats are incredible smooth like velvet and shiny. Life isn'tcomplete until your living with Burmese cats. Feeding cats raw meat is so BAD. Breeders have no idea of the reality of feeding animals. They have no qualifications in veterinarian medicine - that takes 7 years training. Feeding raw meat to a domestic cat is wrong - domestic cats have evolved over millennia to have shorter colons than wild cats who do eat raw meat. eating raw meat means WORMS - cats will have to be wormed as raw meat contains parasitic worms, that would be killed if cooked. these worms are extremley harmful to young kittens and cats. Kittens will contract worms from their mother from the breast milk, meaning each cat wether eating raw or cooked meat needs to be wormed once they have been weaned from mum's milk. I mean no disrespect to breeders but they are just ordinary people with no qualifications and play with eugenics trying to produce the best show cat. I have lost at least one of my cats because of a breeder mating two cats together and having several litters all born with congenital illness from Diaphramatic Hernias ( a hole in the diaphragm if left untreated will result in the cats internal organs entering the pericardial space causing a massive fatal heart attack. Another kitten had heart murmurs and died age 5 because of it. An ordinary street cat instinctivly knows which male cat will give her the healthiest litter of kittens that have the chance of survival. For those who are unaware a litter of kittens born to an ordinary cat who goes out and about can produced a litter with each kitten having a different father! so if you've ever seen a litter that has for instance 3 black cats and 1 ginger cat - now you know why. A pedigree cat is only allowed to breed with just one male cat. The breeder is looking to win prizes at cat shows. So they will breed their best two cats together and and any kitten that shows the potential to be a show cat will be kept the rest are sold on to the public. I've encountered many breeders and they all have their own weird and wonderful ways they think are great regimes for the cats. Speak to a reputable vet about the advice your breeder has given you and you will find completely different answers as to why eating raw meat is bad for a cat. You can not give cat's bones to chew upon, this is dangerous as a cat's anatomy is very much different from a dog's. There are special toothbrushes for cats and toothpaste too, it's a fish flavour and has special enzymes to tackle dental problems. If in doubt - Speak to a Vet - find a reputable one.

Burmese cats as so adorable not even the breeders really want to let them go. I was going to be a breeder when I got my second pair and after one month I changed my mind. Now, I have the love of four Burmese cats and I'm in cat heaven. If you can get one do so and feel the love.

Congratulations for running such important project and thanks for sharing it with us!

How lovely I adore the cats beautiful love the video its great to see the cats are being loved and care for just wonderful

I have 5 Burms... This was really beautiful and really special. Thank you so much for sharing.

lovely..

You don't have much knowledge about breeding if you let the cats mate with whomever they like. There must have been a lot of inbreeding in the beginning of their program. And you don't have much knowledge about breeding if you don't know anything about the breeding standards before you start out. Hopefully this will now be adjusted with a proper breeding program where this is taken into consideration. I am glad they met with the Australian breeder that was very serious about helping them. She cared more about the breed and the cats than about the money. For the UK breeders it is obviously all about the money. You have my respect, Vera Taborsky. They are lucky to have you as a mentor. This was an awesome video. Thank you, film makers.

I'm getting a Burmese next year! I can't wait!

That pile at 0:25 is so cute

I can't like this enough. Fantastic job & amazing kitties!

Love My Coco she is a champagne Burmese! She has Asthma.... I am going to try raw food and she if she improves. Thanks for sharing your beautiful Burmese Islands and new inhabitants.

Burmese cats are so wonderful

Well worth a visit, there last November. Have food, lunch was really good.

What a wonderful feel good story ,

A great project!

This is bloody brilliant. Planning on getting this breed in the short future

Awesome video -- I have 4 Burms , 1 is a Brown/Seal Burm and the other 3 are chocolates.....Awesome cats .......if you are a serious cat lover and would love to have a dog in a cats body , get a Burm..... You must spend Lots and Lots of time with them so dont get one if you dont have the time

thank all for restoring such this cat so called "burmese cat"

good job!

i am grateful to the team behalf of Myanmar people

thanks well done

I must say that Southeast Asian cats in general are fascinating and and seeing how these genetic lines are maintained excites me.

These Burmese cats are different from the Burmese in Europe. European Burmese cats have round heads, cheeks and round dark yellow eyes. My cat looks same like this video. She has long legs, huge ears, a narrow head and light eyes. She jumps very well, friendly, gentle and kind cat, takes care of our second Siamese cat.

Coffee, tea, or Burmese cats!

Does anyone have any updates on this breeding programme? Hopefully not badly affected by the civil war in Myanmar.

give a burmese cat to Daw Suu Khi we have a brown burmese called Suu Khi named after our hero my family are burmese too and we are breeders

15:03 "throughout all of SEA, people feed their cats with rice..." Not true, maybe only certain areas and people of older generations do that. Here in Malaysia, most cat rescuers and foster carers won't even let you adopt their cats if you can't agree to provide the cats with proper or even premium cat food.

They should be regularly examined by vets. You can't just hand over these beautiful cats without educating the carers about the physical, mental and emotional aspects of cats. I'm was a bit saddened that they were just being superficially cared for because it looked good on the outside but real attention and care requires more than building a house and playing with them. These cats need their dietary and medical needs met. It seems not a single person bothered to research and learn how to properly look after these cats. Feeding them rice and cooked fish every day probably did some harm. Thank god for the visit from the Australian breeder.

I will NEVER be a COMMONOR although I will always have a Burmese Cat with me. Sorry to the CCP.

My question is. Where are they now!!!

What is the medication for that I wonder? My cat is sneezy as well.

How did these people embark on this project without finding out the Burmese breed didn't in actual fact come from Burma?

This woman knows a lot about Burmese cats. How can you contact her?

Do you export it to india?

Anyone know how to contact Vera Taborsky?

I live in Thailand. I have Burmese and Siam cats. Burmese has health problems. But the local vets can't help her. It’s surprising for a me that cats are fed river fish, but Thai people also feed rice and fish. Maybe this is right for these cats? I feed the holistic dry food. It’s good cat food, but my cat still has problems.

my cat zozo is a burmese but she is staying in australia she doesnt have any relatives in burma

8:18 they just want the money

This is cat of thai

1706

They're so cute! I can't wait to visit. We have a beautiful Burmese named Mr. Kitty: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdeUabR8tbScYIU.html

They are feeding the cats with rice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!No grain pleeeeeeeease !

I can't see what all the fuss is all about. I know a lady here in Cornwall that breeds the brown Burmese, so you won't have to go to effing Harrods, unless you are a complete toff...

The Burmese cat originates from Thailand -that is why you will not find any there .

While the cats are beautiful and taken good care of, it's nonsense to claim that they have been re-introduced to their original home. The Burmese cat originated from Thailand. The name "Burmese cat" was given to them from early breaders. These cats are no more connected to Burma than Persian cats to Persia.

These are cats that are bred to be a certain way they're not an actual native species. It's actually nice that mixed breed cats are receiving love and attention. Now that the mixed breeds have competition they are prone to over population and neglect. Breeding cats for humane entertainment is unnatural and should be abolished. Please stop playing God by trying to control animals for your selfish purpose.
