BREED PROFILE:
European Burmese
The European Burmese is an elegant, unique cat breed of far eastern origin. There is a difference in type between the two Burmese breeds. The European Burmese is an elegant, moderate cat with gently rounded contours, whereas the Burmese has a compact, well-rounded appearance.
The most obvious difference between the Burmese and the European Burmese is the array of colors displayed by the European Burmese - ten to be exact. Introduction of the red gene is esponsible for the additional colors. This gene was introduced both deliberately and by accident. In the U.K. Siamese come in many colors including red points, so the introduction of this gene to the existing four colors (brown, chocolate, blue and lilac) produced the colors red, cream, brown-tortie, chocolatetortie, blue-tortie and lilac-tortie.
