They really do love fetch. Folded strips of business cards are my cats favorite. I often find them on my pillow or computer keyboards.

megan873 i think its okie for me bc my parents work from home so they can play with her in the day

Are they good for catching rats, we need a cat to keep rats away and if a Burmese sees one what will they do?

I’ve no idea, we’ve never had rats around 😂

@@maxcarrasco1468 - a Siamese, Siberian or a Maine Coon are good for catching rats and other vertebrate pests. They have large prey drives and love hunting games.

You had a Bonnie the Burmese too! 💜 yours sounds like she was an absolute legend 🙌

YESSS!!! We used to live in a neighborhood with so many cats. I also noticed that the Burmese cats were a lot smarter than other cats.

I have 5 Burmese cats ......... 4 X Chocolate and 1 X Brown All show cats as well I'm a registered Breeder , but I'm not breeding at the moment

indeed

Too cute 😁😁😁

My sincere condolences to you 😘 RIP Leela over the rainbow 🌈 bridge with my beloved Emme, she will take care of you. Emme was 8 years 😢 23/9/23

Lucky girl 😻

This is the cross that is the Tonkinese breed. We had a half Tonkinese half Siamese boy named Fozzie who was amazing! Loved him so much! Passed a month ago at over 18.5 yrs. ❤️❤️❤️

My first cat was also a stray from the spca and she was the reason I got the Burmese, I was trying to get a cat like that beautiful stray. Her name was Matilda and my Burmese is named after her ❤️

They are very special cats 😻

Thank you! Appreciate the support! 😻

@@LenaMatildaCats You cats and knowledge are very nice and it shows how much you love your cats.

Mine was also very comfortable with me. He was loving, loyal, and honestly selfless. I miss him so much…we had 19 wonderful years together. I will have a new Burmese soon.

Only thing I can say against it, is not all burmese will tolerate other cats and can become very aggressive and attack anything in site.

True especially adult Burmese, they are very possessive of their hoomans

@@LenaMatildaCats That I can account for, parents took in 10ish year old, didnt like existing cats till they died of old age. Should see the baseball bat and broom when he went skits on it, and no we didnt hit him, keeping him way past arms length when he was attacking other cats.

@@ascelot My Burmese adored all cats, and helped me foster many litters. He acted just like a typical cat mom. He may have been an exception, though.

@@sciencenotstigma9534 Indeed, once he was on his own, he was most affectionate cat you could ever want.

As long as it has the attention 😻 just bear in mind introducing adult cats can be a bit of a process 👍

@@LenaMatildaCatsit'll get lots and lots of attention, I've had cats my whole life. These past 4 years without one, has honestly been the hardest 😻🙀 I think if it does come to the point where i'll add another kitty, it won't be till a few years down the road 😄

So did you get a cat? We adopted a Ragdoll from the local Animal Protection. I call it the family psychologist; calming and uplifting influence on everyone. Ragdoll's have Burmese (edit or more likely Birman not sure) in them and sound quite similar to this video like following you around the house, affectionate, friendly to everyone, never scratches people. But he likes to keep a 1m distance and has his alone time for afternoon sleep and walks in the evening, so less intense than the Burmese it seems. Long haired so deep brushing every day; Its fun, and cats hairs to vacuum all the time so more 'grooming ' than a Burmese needed.

It’s also a very loud cat, you’re never bored with a Burmese at home! 🥰

@@LenaMatildaCats thanks for letting me know, mate

Thank you for sharing! My Matilda is 9 this year. Hope to have many more years with her grumpiness around jumping and howling at closed doors. 😂🥰

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading your story immensely 🤎🐾 My partner works 6 days a week and I’m home all day alone, so have decided to get cat companion to keep me company. I’ve been looking at everything from Rag dolls to Rescues but I didn’t want to rush into anything and was looking for something really special, but didn’t know quite what.. I just knew I’d know it when I saw it ❤. I hadn’t even decided on a male or female! So anyway, it’s been a while now and 2 days ago, I found my new best friend/fur baby! I pick him up in 5 sleeps and after watching this video and reading your experience, I am even more excited!! I am the proud new Mumma of a 5 month old brown Burmese boy!! 🤎🐾🖤🥰 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Reading your 17 year long love story made my day 🥰 I’m just so very happy and excited to be about to start my own journey with a beautiful baby Burmese boy!! This breed is everything I wanted and more ❤

I have two burmese cats (brothers) and one eat any food dry and jelly and have good breathing, second had a very bad breathing and eats only jelly food. We goes to vet clinics and they found second has a issues with teeth, even not teeth itself, but with tissue under the teeth, this is caused bad smell, in clinics they removed bad teeth and then bad smell disappear. But we use all the time tooth paste for this cat, this is keep him well and keep his mouth clean. Anyone who want get burmese cats, need to know, they have genetic issues with teeth and gingivitis, need to take care about this.

thank you and same to you 😸

They are perfect, agreed ❤️

Sabina Pamfili I’m so sorry for your loss, I can only imagine how hard it can be ❤️

@@LenaMatildaCats yes, it has to be a Burmese. I love love her coloring. Please can you tell me where you found her?

Sabina Pamfili Both my cats are from Ireland. We used to live there and brought them with us when we relocated.

Love that story! Thanks for sharing 😻

@@LenaMatildaCats You're very welcome!

underrated comment XD

I can't speak to the outdoors disposition, but I guess as long as the cat gets plenty of attention, they need it 😻

I also got into the Burmese because I had a brown cat from a shelter that was the most loving. The Burmese was the closest I could find to that stray that changed my life ❤️

Sabina Pamfili The are very intense and talkative. My Matilda only meows for attention. Sometimes if she’s feeling neglected she will howl at 3 am, so I have to get up and pick her up for her to calm down. I think they are wonderful companions though. They will be a true friend as you know well.

@@LenaMatildaCats thank you so much for your reply. I am still crying and miss my Arabella so much. I contacted a breeder but have not heard from her. She had a litter and everyday I check my email but so far no news. I desperately want to find another Burmese. Are you in the States or Canada?

Sabina Pamfili States, but my cats are from Ireland. Did you try Burmese cat groups on Facebook? I used to follow a couple of them a long time ago, but don’t use Facebook anymore. Maybe try to join a couple of groups and ask for recommendations there? There’s usually quite a few breeders that are part of those. I know from my followers that the breed is extremely popular in Australia, but in the rest of the world they are a bit harder to find. Hope you can find one soon!

@@sabina1944 Please contact me. I'm not a breeder but I know a great one. Please contact me for their web address.

Mine snores too, it's the cutest sound! I cut his claws otherwise my skin and clothes would be destroyed. He loves to jump up on me and to be carried around on the shoulder. He never scratches on purpose but is not able to pull the claws in fully. Maybe a burmese thing? Declawing is forbidden here in Sweden thankfully - it should be everywhere. Cutting is fine if they are not outdoor cats (need them for climbing, running fast and defense)

@@marlarosso beautiful breed of cat. Burmese.

Arto Kallunki so sorry to hear you lost your burmese!

Burmese and Siamese are “cousins” 👍😻

@@LenaMatildaCats yes, they are! 😉💓👍🏻

Thanks for sharing, completely agree on the breeder, a good breeder is so important for the well being of the cats.

Best decision ever if you can deal with the demanding nature of the Burmese 😻

Not one get two so they both have a friend of their own species. Imagine you as a person didn't see or know any other human beings, how would that make you feel? :-)

Sounds like a Burmese ❤️

ii Marquise ii ii Marquise ii so there it is for you 😸😸

Well said ❤️

We’re strictly indoors here yes. She’s never known anything else. She’s happy as long as she has company and attention (another cat and humans) she needs a lot of attention, really a lot!

Best life companion 😍

That is correct, they actually went extinct in Burma. There’s a documentary about how they are being reintroduced by Inle heritage. I’ve watched it on KZfaq. They also give neutered cats for free to locals. At least that’s what the documentary says. Would love to visit one day and see the project.

Lena & Matilda that’s interesting.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osV9n6uQvZa-aWw.html here’s the link

I would love a Bombay!

Agree, a companion is a must 👍😻

Beautiful colors!

Annika Säilä they are the same 2 shades as my cats ecxept one of them is somewhere else in the world gone but not in heaven but she could be as she went missing and i don’t know if she is alive or not!

Well said!

She’s European, chocolate 🍫 happy holidays!

Oh yes, my Burmese is everywhere. She’s quite active and loud, there’s no closing doors for her, she’s ALWAYS at the wrong side of a closed door and will let you know by jumping at the knob and howling. She climbs everywhere and goes everywhere, she likes to be at eye level with me, so definitely lots of climbing. Maybe you can train, I’m not sure.

Maybe she can get a companion at the same time?

@@LenaMatildaCats I hope so, but my parents don't want to have 2 cats, though I don't see the problem with one more cat 🤷🏻‍♀️ Idk, that's upsetting Maybe if it is kitten of 2 months, it can get used of staying alone 2-3 days a week for approximately 10 hours a day?

Tim each cat is a unique personality for sure! Matilda will get a bet check as soon as things get back to normal, but that might be next year only 👍

Introduce while kittens, that’s much more likely they’ll be friends. For adult cats it’s harder. Look up videos on introduction and how to do it, it’s a process but much easier for kittens. 😍

Overlord I need to take her to thevet to check those teeth 👍

How did it end up? Is it ok with Matilda's teeth?

yousef hadi you could get one of each breed, so you can experience both. When they’re kittens they’re easier to introduce.

@@LenaMatildaCats Not sure if a Korat is really that similar...aren't they calm cats? I would pair a Burmese only with close related breeds like Siamese, Tonkinese etc. I have a Siamese & a Burmese.

Traveler's Garden - Der Garten der Reisenden my second cat is a Russian Blue. They are best friends 😻

​@@LenaMatildaCats Sorry to say that, but I don't think they are best friends to be honest. I saw a video on your channel, where your Burmese bullies your Russian Blue. The Russian Blue just calmly groomed herself & the Burmese came out of nowhere & started attacking her. It was clearly not play. Both were upset & the Russian Blue was intimidated. And since you simply calmly filmed this, means that this is happening frequently & you're thinking this is "normal". Burmese are just way too dominant & active for Russian Blues. They have clearly also good moments & look like friends, but not best friends...they aren't the ideal partner for each other. They are frustrated with the situation. I have also a Bengal at home & even though she is friends with my Siamese & Burmese (they all cuddle, groom each other & play), she isn't best friends with them. The breeds are just too different...and Bengals are way closer to Siamese & Burmese, than a Burmese to a Russian Blue. Burmese & Siamese are very special in character & they can't bond with unrelated breeds that closely. In the past I also had 2 Siamese...and again, they were best friends beyond believe. People only see what real best friends look like, when they actually own 2 cats that are ideal for each other. I would recommend getting another Burmese or similar for your Burmese.

@ian d My Siamese, Burmese & Bengal sleep through the whole night till 9am. No howling whatsoever. I trained them & they know the night is for sleeping. Playing isn't allowed. All 3 breeds are known to be very noisy. And when I still had my other Siamese (sister of my current Siamese, she died recently), she slept through the whole night as well. So, noisy breeds don't necessarily annoy people at night. They can be taught...plus they also should be kept busy during the day. Especially doing activities outdoors with them works wonders.

Hello , both these beauties come from breeders in Ireland
