From there, American and British breeders developed distinctly different Burmese breed standards, which is unusual among pedigreed domestic cats. Most modern cat registries do not formally recognize the two as separate breeds, but those that do refer to the British type as the European Burmese Cats. Originally, all Burmese cats were dark brown sablebut are now available in a wide variety of colours; formal recognition of these also varies by standard. Both versions of the breed are known for their uniquely social and playful temperament and persistent vocalization. InHarrison Weir organized a cat show at the Burmese Cats Palace. A pair of Siamese cats were on display that closely resembled modern American Burmese cats in build, thus probably similar to the modern Tonkinese breed. The first attempt to deliberately develop the Burmese in the late 19th century in Britain resulted in what were known as Chocolate Siamese rather than a breed in their own right; this view persisted for many years, encouraging crossbreeding between Burmese and Siamese in an Burmese Cats to more closely conform to the Siamese build. The breed thus slowly died out in Britain. Dr Thompson considered the cat's build to be sufficiently different from the Siamese to still have potential as a fully separate breed.

  • Genetic Notes on the Burmese Cat Breed 27 June 2016 the Feline Genetics Laboratory, Formerly of the University of California
    Genetic Notes on the Burmese Cat Breed 27 June 2016 The Feline Genetics Laboratory, formerly of the University of California – Davis (UC Davis), now at the University of Missouri, has had long associations with Burmese breeders and veterinary researchers to define and identify the genetic mutations that cause various maladies in the Burmese breed. Many published studies (several listed below) have demonstrated that the Burmese breed has many genetic conditions, although the prevalence of these conditions is variable between countries. The Burmese in the USA are historically known for the autosomal recessive craniofacial defect that developed from the Contemporary lines of USA Burmese. Burmese carrying this condition have been identified in the UK, Europe and Australia due to the importation and use of the Contemporary lines. In addition, any other breed that has outcrossed to Contemporary Burmese has risk of the craniofacial defect. Recently, American Burmese breeders may be pursuing an organized project for heart disease. In contrast, non - American Burmese are afflicted with several other conditions including GM2 gangliosidosis, hypokalemia, oral facial pain, diabetes, high triglycerides, a mid- line closure defect, and dermatosparaxis (stretchy skin, cutaneous asthenia, Ehlors- Danlos Syndrome). The genetic mutations for hypokalemia and GM2 gangliosidosis have been identified and like the craniofacial defect, the genetic test is available to assist breed management. Genetics studies regarding oral facial pain, diabetes, high triglycerides, flat-chested kittens, and dermatosparaxis are underway by our laboratory, in collaboration with other researchers, and independently by other researchers. Our genetic studies have also included examining the population genetics of the different cat breeds and worldwide populations.
