Burmilla breed was created by accident, when a male of Chinchilla had a clandestine meeting with a bat Burmese female . The resulting kittens were so attractive, that quickly won the heart of those who have seen them, some of them adopting her. Public interest was so great that the crossing was re-forming as a new breed. Kittens resemble more with the Burmese race than the Chinchilla, having the incisive and friendly temper , of the Burmese race and silver color and little stripes like Chinchilla.
Morphological traits
Burmilla is a medium sized cat, because of the Burman blood that takes him from his ancestors. The female is smaller and more delicate than the male. Cape has a considerable widith between the ears and has a slightly rounded dome. Jaws are broad at the top, ending with a big snout and flattened. Seen in profile, chin and nose are located in the same vertical plane. Ears are of medium size with rounded tip. Are arranged in a manner that continues the angle of the face and lean forward slightly. The eyes are well apart, full and expressive. Can be any color, from gold to green. The body is strong and muscular, with a strong back and straight. Members are of medium length and at the back they are slightly longer than the front. The paws are oval and the size is medium length, thinning slightly toward the top, which is rounded.
Character and behavior:
Burmilla is less hectic than a Burmese , but not lazy as a Chinchilla. These cats love to be given attention and feel the need to a family. Can be very insistent and often follow their masters around the house begging attention. If they speak, they seem to understand and answer. Asian Cats are very intelligent and can easily overcome difficulties opened. The curiosity and sociability of the Asian Burmilla can lead to all sorts of trouble, getting into cars or vendor guests. Therefore it is better to be kept in closed houses or gardens. Usually she adapts easily to the environment they live, as long as they live in comfort. They like to play and scratch various surfaces. Can be very sensitive towards the feelings of owners and this makes them excellent pets. In addition, not very loud.
The Fur is short and the body don’t require much care, though they appreciate it if you pay attention in this way.
Varieties
Background color is always a very white silver clean-tipping can be silver, chocolate, lilac and other colors, red or cream. This color comes from a particular gene that inhibits pigmentation hair on a portion of its length. Tapping’s intensity is less important than its homogeneity. A tipping that is considered too open, that does not create a net contrast. The cats often have a tabby drawing on their head, legs and the tail, derived from selected lines of wives Clarke. The drawings should not be tabby and body, but only on the extremities.
Although named after the raccoon, contrary to popular folklore, the Maine Coon cat is not the result of a cat breeding with a raccoon; more likely is the story of a cross between an American domestic cat and a long-haired cat (possibly an Angora), brought by ship from Europe.
Cats are subject to several different kinds of neurological disorders, some with similar symptoms, and different causes, and others unique to themselves. As an example, seizures in cats can have several different causes, including brain tumors, inflammatory diseases affecting the central nervous system, or parasitic infections, such as Toxoplasmosis. As an example, my Shannon suffered seizures as a result of FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Disease), prior to his death.Learn more about the causes, diagnosis, treatment and management of Neurological Disorders in Cats.
I can't believe that May is here already, and I'm looking forward to selecting all the Cat Pictures of the Week from submittals to the Tuxedo Cats Show and Tell gallery. Tuxedo cats' striking colors: all black, with a white bib and sometimes white boots, have almost become a classic among cat lovers, and "tuxies" are favored worldwide. Years ago I selected Tuxedo Cats for my Cat Pictures of the Week, because they reminded me of the elegant tuxes often worn to senior proms, (and girls sometimes wear tuxes too.) Don Pedro, pictured here, looks splendid with his white bib accenting his glossy black coat.
