History and Origins
The European Burmese cat, a variant distinct from the American Burmese, traces its origins back to Burma but was developed into its current form in Europe. The breed’s journey began when a small, brown female cat named Wong Mau, thought to be the first Burmese, was brought to America in the 1930s. Breeding programs in the UK and across Europe diverged from their American counterparts, leading to differences in body type and color range. Recognized for its elegant, moderate body and wider variety of colors, the European Burmese became a beloved breed for its history steeped in mystique and its charming characteristics.

Personality
European Burmese cats are renowned for their outgoing, affectionate nature. They possess an incredible capacity for companionship, often forming strong bonds with their human families. Known for their playful, yet gentle demeanor, they integrate well into households, including those with children and other pets. European Burmese cats are vocal, expressing their needs and desires, but their voices are softer and less demanding than some other breeds. They thrive on interaction and affection, making them ideal pets for those seeking an engaging feline friend.

Nutrition and Feeding
The European Burmese's sleek physique and active nature require a balanced diet rich in high-quality proteins and nutrients. It’s essential to feed them with age-appropriate food that supports their energy levels and maintains their health. While they are not particularly prone to obesity, portion control and regular meal times help prevent weight gain. Fresh water should always be accessible, and treats can be used sparingly as part of a healthy lifestyle. Consulting with a veterinarian can ensure their nutritional needs are met effectively.

Grooming and Care
With their short, satin-like coats, European Burmese cats are relatively low-maintenance in terms of grooming. A weekly brushing is sufficient to remove loose hair and maintain the coat’s shine. They shed minimally, making them a good choice for those who prefer less fur around the house. Regular grooming sessions also provide an opportunity to check for any skin issues and to bond with your cat. In addition to coat care, maintaining clean ears, trimmed nails, and good dental hygiene are vital for their overall health.

Specific Needs
European Burmese cats are generally healthy but can be predisposed to certain genetic conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for monitoring their health and catching any issues early. They have a strong need for social interaction and do not like being left alone for long periods. Providing a stimulating environment with toys, scratching posts, and, if possible, the companionship of another pet can help keep them happy and engaged.

Training
The intelligence and eager-to-please attitude of European Burmese cats make them highly trainable. They respond well to positive reinforcement, such as praise and treats, and can learn a variety of commands and tricks. Early socialization is beneficial, exposing them to different people, animals, and environments to promote well-rounded behavior. Litter training is typically straightforward due to their clean nature. Training not only stimulates their mind but also strengthens the bond between cat and owner.

Need to Know
Prospective owners of European Burmese cats should be prepared for a highly social and affectionate breed that thrives on companionship. Understanding their care requirements, including grooming, nutrition, and health monitoring, is key to providing a loving home. These cats are best suited to environments where they can be part of the family and receive plenty of attention and interaction. With the right care, European Burmese cats make loyal, loving companions, enriching the lives of those who choose to welcome them into their homes.

Purebred Kitties made the adoption process so easy. I never felt like I was in the dark at any point, which I found so helpful. Alona was genuine, kind, and answered all of my questions in a timely manor. I really appreciate everyone's help in bringing our new baby home, he's loved so much already!

I am so impressed! Instant clarification, communication, compassion. Video calls offered to assure that this company is not a scam. Caring consultants connect breeder with buyers making the middle person a fast facilitator of the transaction and steps.

Purebredkitties is a class outfit. They made the transaction easy and worry free. Adoption specialst Kim A worked tirelessly to address issues on my behalf. Even responded to me in an e- mail at 3 am her time. :o) This interaction has been an exceptionally rewarding experience

Communication is great. We were able to FaceTime with our baby pay by credit card, and when we want to pick her up, she was exactly as we expected. Only in our house two days and she’s already doing wonderfully with the family! It would be nice if for the cost the pedigree papers were included as many breeders do this the additional cost for these was hundreds of dollars and since she was arriving spayed we didn’t feel the need to pay the additional money. As my title says it’s expensive, but it was worth it the quality And size of this kitten is amazing.

Sphynx mom of 4. I have 4 Sphynx kittys from Maria at purebredkitties.com love them all - she's amazing to work with

The entire process to get our fluffy bundle of joy was stellar. Maria is super sweet and was so helpful in answering any and all of our questions. I love how the health of the cat is taken seriously throughout the process, ours just came in with some minor sniffles (but were pretty sure that's from traveling through the airport and it was quickly/easily cured). On top of all that, the video call we had to meet our little guy before we bought him was a great way to get an small sneak peak at his personality and reinforce that we were making the right choice. I'm recommending Purebred Kitties to any of my friends looking to get their own Maine Coon.

Just got my second Sphynx from purebred kitties, as my first experience was perfect and without issue. My second experience was just as good as the first. I love both of my cats to death, they have the best personalities, both are healthy, and absolutely adorable.
