If you’re considering a burmese cat, do it! I’ve had 3 and they are unlike any animal. Mine plays fetch, talks back and is extremely affectionate. He would be happy if I just carried around everywhere with me. Plus they are so beautiful looking. You will never regret getting a burm. They are really life changing. My only advise... get two. They will be much happier.
@@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.
We used to have Burmese. They are SO smart! So affectionate and intelligent. When ever Bonnie would hear me brush my teeth for bed she'd run to my bed and wait for me to get in to bed with her. We took her on walks without a lead and she would be gone for hours until you shout her name and she'd peak her head out like "Hey! I'm here!". Absolutely amazing cats x
We found a Burmese on road in really bad shape. Took him to vet and ended up costing 3000 dollars over a year to get him healthy. Worth every penny.....really the most awesome cat I have ever met. Loves people, very affectionate always friendly. But as mentioned in video follows you everywhere and probably needs a friend.
Raised my burmese from a kitten with three adult cats. And two dogs. She was one of the most balanced and friendly cats I have ever loved and owned. Lived to be twenty, and my heart still aches from missing her. I will get another someday.
The hosts of an Airbnb I stayed at had the most amazing burmese cat I've ever met, and I promised myself to one day get one. Well, today I got a burmese siamese cross...Not exactly the same, but extremely happy with my baby 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. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm heavily thinking of getting a burmese cat, i live alone. And because i'm on sickleave, i'm home 24/7, have been so for the past 4 years. So i'd be home with it except for when i'm at physical therapy, which is 45min a week, when that starts up again. If i do get the okay for fulltime work again, i'd consider getting a second. But for now i'm just home all day, and will be for a few years atleast. But I've totally fallen in love with the burmese cat 😍😩
@@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.
Burmese are the Cat when you have a Border Collie. If you think a BC is smart then pair them up with a Burmese. My Burmese has my BC in check & baffled by the intelligence. Just my opinion. I've had BC's since age 5 and on my second decade of Burmese. Love them all...
@@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.
A Burmese is a very smart and unique breed. They are loyal. Follow you around. They "talk" a lot. And they do need love and attention. They sleep for periods but when they awake they need interaction or they get very anxious and hyperactive. The producer of this channel explains just about everything. I am confirming much of what she says. And take you cat for regular check ups. They can live very long lives when loved and cared for. My first Platinum Burmese, Nala, lived nearly 20 years. My present Platinum, Sky, is a female and is 4 years old. Many similar personality traits to my first one. I like your channel.
I have 5 Burmese cats.... I have no kids.... Let's just say, I have my hands full... They want a lot of attention.... They love to play fight, you can be slightly rough with them and they love it.... They play fetch as well.... Just be warned, Burms need A LOT OF ATTENTION. They are very emotionally intelligent and they know if you aren't making them number 1 in your life... I wouldn't get any other breed. They get VERY UPSET if you don't cuddle with them.. Remember, if you have more than 1 Burm, remember to show them all attention. Some can be more dominant than others. Oh, when I come home they wait for me at the door. And the first cat I pick up feels like it has won a completion against the other cats..... If you want a dog Ina cats body.... Get a Burm..... Only for very very serious cat enthusiasts
My mom wants to get a burmese cat but there can be days it will be alone all day, I told her about that, she doesn't understand...she says it will be alright... I hate her ignorance.
@@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?
We’ve had FIVE over the years. Last one went with my daughter when she ‘grew up’ and moved out. The house is soo empty. I’m seriously thinking about getting two more. No regrets, but a single (female) can drive you nuts with her *talking*.
In April 2020 I rescued a Burmese Boy who had been kept by an unethical breeder in a tiny Wendy home (a small child couldn't lie down in it) with a 1m by 1.5m courtyard to play in for 8.5 years. He was in a terrible condition. With the help of great vets in my area I nursed him back to health. I showed him at a cat show in November 2020 and he was awarded the Title Grand Champion. BEFORE YOU BUY A CUTE BURMESE KITTEN....... make sure you see the living conditions of the boy cat.... Insist on it..... If the breeder refuses then report them to the authorities.... There is A LOT of bad breeders out their, its up to YOU, the client to stop them..... You need to be the voice for these helpless animals. (sorry if I am preaching, I'm very passionate about Burms)
Yes, I have two, know as the hooligan brothers. They are the most affectionate cats, they sleep under the covers with me in the winter time, head butts, Louie licks all the time. Lap time at night. I have had Burmese cats since 1972, Pye and Louie will be my last two because of my age.
I have had two kittens from the same litter only one was born fully white with bright blue eyes who has now changed colour and lots say he may be Burmese the other and the rest of the litter were tuxedo domestics what's the chances of that
Update on things Burmese learn to interact with their caretakers: Last night my Burmese crawled into a box and hid. Then began making noise deliberately to wake me up to play. I was asleep so she knew only loud noises would wake me. This is an old trick she has learned. "Wake up and play with me or at least scratch my head or this noise will get worse!" Of course it is a nice way to get woke up at 3 AM and she knows it. This is something she does often. After I got her and scratched her head and belly, within 10 minutes she was done. And went to sleep on my feet. The Burmese are intelligent and if started when they are kittens, can learn amazing things. A good choice for an indoor cat. I would suggest studying ways that cats can be trained.
My vet said that my kitten has a lot of Burmese in him , it deffo makes sense and after researching the traits and features etc it explains his personality he’s such a little lover 😭💕
I came back to update you. I got my burmese, her name is Morrighan she’s a very loving goofball of a cat. She loves fishing toys, occasionally she’ll fetch, she occasionally makes toys out of strips of paper and paper like things like dollar bills which is very funny. One more annoying thing she does is she’ll destroy rolls of toilet paper and she can be a bit much at times for my American short hair Drucilla because Drucilla is a bit aloof and passive. Though their relationship has improved, I’ve found them grooming each other and napping in the same chair. Brian, the breeder I got her from is very nice and the other cats at his cattery were very nuzzley. She’s a lot of fun. Though I will say I think her nails grow pretty quickly
I can't seem to remember just how much my Arabella talked. I live in a Senior home and not sure if a new cat would be too disturbing though I would not leave her alone very much. Please let me know. I want another Burmese but am not sure and I love how you talk about Matilda.
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!
She is paralyzed and trusts you very much. And yes. Their fur is likesilk. I groom mine almost every day. She gets no hair balls. Blessing for sure. Good day or bad day my cat Sky always makes things better. Now that I live in the South, she is good at hearing sounds outside. Matilda is maturing and seems even more relaxed with your family.
Welp, you and Matilda just made my decision super easy to get a Burmese kitty. The way she just lays there sleeping while you're talking and petting her just shows how safe she feels with your voice and presence. Awesome video, thank you!
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.
I had to watch more of this one. Burmese are great. I agree the Burmese needs to be attended to. They follow you everywhere and do not like it when you leave them alone too long. My Burmese snores. It is so fun to hear it. Flood a Burmese with love and you will be very surprised at what these cats can give back. As they age the bond will tighten. This cat you have here is perfect in my eyes. They do have boundaries too. Watch out for the claws. Burmese claws are as sharp as razors. and the will accidentally scratch you. I prefer not to clip my cat's nails. And never ever consider declawing any cat! So cruel. I love your cats! Bye for now.
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)
I had a stray black cat I adopted and you would have thought he was full Burmese! He had dog characteristics- loved belly rubs, highly affectionate, had to take naps when I did, etc. Midnight never mewed though - he didn’t have to. You could tell what was going on in that kitty mind of his just by looking at him!
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 ❤️
Bad breath can sometimes be abscessed tooth, which happens more with wet food since it doesn’t scrap off plaque as dry food does. Learned this when our cat had to get a tooth removed then his breath cleared up.
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.
Matilda is just like my old friend BooBoo, the perfect cat. Full on cats but exactly what my heart desires, pure joy and love in return for 100% dedication, both ways. Softest fur, warmest cuddles, a true soul companion. I hope I meet my burmese boys, George, Arthur/BooBoo and my Reg/BonBon when this life is finished 💜💜💜
This catb with the Aqua blue eyes is not a burmese cat. To me it is looking more like a Tonkinese! Which is a breed recognised in the cat fancy and worldwide pedigree as Tonkinese which is crossed between Siamese and a burmese. I know cos I have one myself. They are wonderful cats Xx
Matilda's eyes are yellow and she is a registered Burmese. Maybe you are seeing blue eyes because of the light? Her momma was a beautiful tortie and the dad a big brown guy, the same color as her. I met her parents and I have her papers. She's European chocolate 🍫 Burmese 🥰
Burmese are fine cats. Raise them with love and they will return the love ten fold. The trust they offer needs to be earned. Also they follow you everywhere. My Burmese does not like it if she is left alone.I miss your channel. Still the prettiest Burmese on UA-cam.
THE teeth : don't give her wet food or temptations. Oriental cats Burmese Siamese Japanese have soft teeth ,plus a tartar problem around 8 to 10 YEARS.take a picture when she yawns.🦫🇨🇦🐈⬛
Beautiful cat! I grew up with a siamese and she was the smartest cat I've ever known! She was never 'wild' like the siamese have the reputation for; she was always very loving. She used to sleep part of the night with me and part with my Mom. We got her when I was 2 years old and she lived to be 18 years old. We literally grew up together.
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 UA-cam. 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.
I have had two male Burmese cats for 17 years now. What a journey it's been. I remember when they turned 4 years old and I was thinking they were now getting mature and it would become a bit easier. Nope, at 17 now they are still a hand full. Absolutely amazing cats but what was said in the video is very true, they give a lot but need just as much in return. If you want a cat that is interactive, ultra affectionate and to emotionally bond with then a Burmese and especially a male Burmese is a great choice. I can have friends kids come around and the cats will be carried around and even dressed up, thats how easy and affectionate mine are. But close a door in the house or move them out of the bedroom because there are guests and don't expect an easy ride. If you are sick they won't leave your side, if you are gardening they will garden with you, in the bath they will walk the bath rim and cooking in the kitchen with you. Finally mine love the be carried, on on the shoulder the other upside down. Not easy to cook with a cat on your shoulder but sometimes you have to. Would I get another Burmese when they are gone? Yes I think so but maybe an older one that needs rehoming rather than a kitten. They need a buddy.
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 ❤
My mom has a career in cat shows and knows everything about cats. This is her favorite breed and some of her kittens grew up to be the greatest nicest cats we've ever had. She prefers them because all they want to do is sit on your lap! What could be better than that
All of your points where spot on! My Xochi is all of these things and has been such a great addition to our home. One thing to add is her curiosity and wanting to constantly try all of my foods and drinks 😳 please note this should you have or be considering a Burmese.
I just found your video and beautiful Matilda. I lost my beloved Arabella three weeks ago and cannot seem to want to live without her. She too was a Burmese. How on earth do I live without her? Matilda looks so like her.
I already have a burmese kitten, shes about 5 months old. I really want to get her a buddy (another burmese) but im not sure if they will get along, any tips?
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. 😍
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!
Interesting, I have a Birman, not a Burmese, and he is also super needy, cuddly and a stalker 😂 I think he would do better with a friend, but I can’t afford it. :(
Would you say that even an adult Burmese would be stressed being left on its own? I'd really love one but I work full time. I may have to look for a different cat if it will be a problem.
That’s also depending on individual cat personality. They would probably get used to it eventually I guess. Also cats do sleep most of the day, so you do have that working in your favor.
@@LenaMatildaCats yeah I thought so too, after doing some research into them. I've gotta say, it was your videos though, that made me realize how amazing they are. So thanks for that. Lena is just a stunning cat.
Is it ok if instead of 2 of these cats is it ok if like dogs would be ok? Because i still go to school for 7 hours and my parents too so would it be ok for dogs to keep the cat company?
A dog isn't a substitute for a cat. They are a completely different species, with completely different behavior & social needs. Cats that are kept solitary, meaning without any other cat, will become anti-social to other cats. That means they actually forget how to communicate with their own species & they end up seeing them only as strangers & enemies...to reverse that is usually very difficult or even impossible. Which is a very sad thing. They also tend to develop behavioral issues like grumpy & moody behavior, aggression, overly sensitivity, depression, bullying behavior, frustration & a lot more. It's like keeping a human only with a dog as company for their whole life...that human will end up mentally sick. It's no different with cats.
I have a kitty who is from a shelter, but she is hypoallergenic, insanely loving and social, vocal, and looks exactly like a burmese. If you brush her hair one way it black, and the other way it is a rich brown. I’m so sure she is burmese. And I think that will have to be my breed after experiencing the love they give ❤️
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 ❤️
I’m thinking about getting a burmese cat but I’m wondering how much attention it needs. I go to school everyday and one day is approximately 7 hours, will it be stressed when I’m in school? (I don’t plan getting 2 burmese cats)
I got one cat I should have gotten 2 at the same time - my beautiful girl had separation anxiety- her brother came 4 years later another Burmese she hates him but at l least he is home with her and she settled down a lot
*True Pedigreed Burmese, Bombay, Burmilla, Australian Mist & Tonkinese catz are 5 of the finest cat breeds money can buy.* What do they all have in common? They all carry generous amounts of *Burmese Blood* in their foundation lineage. It would be very difficult if not impossible to find better cat breeds than these 5 imho!
@@LenaMatildaCats I'm thinking of having a Burmese kitten, I work from home some days and I'm in almost every evening do you think that would be enough?
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? :-)
Cats also a good pet to keep around children if they’re not allergic because they help children learn to be considerate. Because have boundaries and give feedback on how they want to be loved
I have a 5 year old Ragdoll and a 3 year old Boston terrier. They are best friends. My Ragdoll boy is soooo laid back and will accept a kitten. Will a Burmese kitten get along with dogs and cats if introduced as a kitten? And I work from home. They are never alone
My late bermy would rather sit on my lap then beg for food during dinner. Contrary to his skinny siamese friend who would angle the food from my plate.
I’m thinking about getting 2 Burmese kittens, so they can be raised together. But I started looking at the Korat that’s very similar to the Burmese. I can’t decide if another Burmese would be a better companion for a Burmese or a Korat. Maybe even a tonkinese.
@@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.
@@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.
I want to get a cat but my mom is worried about scratching, and she is also worried because I have a lot of younger brothers, would this breed be good around children
My burmese didn't have any bad breath at all when he was barf fed. Now as he is elder he needs 1/3 part commercial food (he eats both wet and dry) and the bad breath instantly came with it.
My neighbors have a Burmese who comes outside regularly, and is precious. He stalks rodents, but will come say hi and lay on my bare toes for a pet. I absolute adore him. I wonder if this breed would make a good family barn cat to patrol the feed barn. I'll need to get a cat of my own soon, but this cat will defiantly be an outside/barn cat with lots of family and extended family activity around to be a part of. Tractors do drive through often, but nothing that moves too quickly. A sensible cat should be able to be perfectly safe I'd recon.
If you’re considering a burmese cat, do it! I’ve had 3 and they are unlike any animal. Mine plays fetch, talks back and is extremely affectionate. He would be happy if I just carried around everywhere with me. Plus they are so beautiful looking. You will never regret getting a burm. They are really life changing. My only advise... get two. They will be much happier.
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.
I want this cat it’s the perfect cat for me and my sister and my mom and my dad
YAY I ASKED FOR THIS♡♡♡
ii Marquise ii ii Marquise ii so there it is for you 😸😸
The only thing better than a burmese cat is... 2 burmese cats!(love you Matilda)
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 😁😁😁
Watching this makes me miss our Burmese who passed away just last month even more. She lived to be 23. RIP Leela 😿
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
We used to have Burmese. They are SO smart! So affectionate and intelligent. When ever Bonnie would hear me brush my teeth for bed she'd run to my bed and wait for me to get in to bed with her. We took her on walks without a lead and she would be gone for hours until you shout her name and she'd peak her head out like "Hey! I'm here!".
Absolutely amazing cats x
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.
Cat hardware, dog software....lol

Great description of the Burmese breed. Matilda is such a little lovely!
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.

those cat are extinct in Burma and Military regime took over and taken down the democratic government. god help us
Those are hard times. We are thinking of you and hoping things get better soon 💝
I heard that Burmese cats are now being reintroduced in Thailand!
I have 5 Burmese cats.... I have no kids.... Let's just say, I have my hands full... They want a lot of attention.... They love to play fight, you can be slightly rough with them and they love it.... They play fetch as well.... Just be warned, Burms need A LOT OF ATTENTION. They are very emotionally intelligent and they know if you aren't making them number 1 in your life... I wouldn't get any other breed. They get VERY UPSET if you don't cuddle with them.. Remember, if you have more than 1 Burm, remember to show them all attention. Some can be more dominant than others. Oh, when I come home they wait for me at the door. And the first cat I pick up feels like it has won a completion against the other cats..... If you want a dog Ina cats body.... Get a Burm..... Only for very very serious cat enthusiasts
Well said ❤️
My mom wants to get a burmese cat but there can be days it will be alone all day, I told her about that, she doesn't understand...she says it will be alright... I hate her ignorance.
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?
We’ve had FIVE over the years. Last one went with my daughter when she ‘grew up’ and moved out.
The house is soo empty. I’m seriously thinking about getting two more. No regrets, but a single (female) can drive you nuts with her *talking*.
In April 2020 I rescued a Burmese Boy who had been kept by an unethical breeder in a tiny Wendy home (a small child couldn't lie down in it) with a 1m by 1.5m courtyard to play in for 8.5 years.
He was in a terrible condition. With the help of great vets in my area I nursed him back to health. I showed him at a cat show in November 2020 and he was awarded the Title Grand Champion.
BEFORE YOU BUY A CUTE BURMESE KITTEN....... make sure you see the living conditions of the boy cat.... Insist on it..... If the breeder refuses then report them to the authorities.... There is A LOT of bad breeders out their, its up to YOU, the client to stop them..... You need to be the voice for these helpless animals. (sorry if I am preaching, I'm very passionate about Burms)
Thanks for sharing, completely agree on the breeder, a good breeder is so important for the well being of the cats.
Yes, I have two, know as the hooligan brothers. They are the most affectionate cats, they sleep under the covers with me in the winter time, head butts, Louie licks all the time. Lap time at night. I have had Burmese cats since 1972, Pye and Louie will be my last two because of my age.
@@HotinLaughlin aw I used to have a Burmese mix named Pi. She was a legend 💓
1972! That's a lifetime of Burmese love ❤️
I have had two kittens from the same litter only one was born fully white with bright blue eyes who has now changed colour and lots say he may be Burmese the other and the rest of the litter were tuxedo domestics what's the chances of that
Update on things Burmese learn to interact with their caretakers: Last night my Burmese crawled into a box and hid. Then began making noise deliberately to wake me up to play. I was asleep so she knew only loud noises would wake me. This is an old trick she has learned. "Wake up and play with me or at least scratch my head or this noise will get worse!" Of course it is a nice way to get woke up at 3 AM and she knows it. This is something she does often. After I got her and scratched her head and belly, within 10 minutes she was done. And went to sleep on my feet. The Burmese are intelligent and if started when they are kittens, can learn amazing things. A good choice for an indoor cat. I would suggest studying ways that cats can be trained.
My vet said that my kitten has a lot of Burmese in him , it deffo makes sense and after researching the traits and features etc it explains his personality he’s such a little lover 😭💕
I came back to update you. I got my burmese, her name is Morrighan she’s a very loving goofball of a cat. She loves fishing toys, occasionally she’ll fetch, she occasionally makes toys out of strips of paper and paper like things like dollar bills which is very funny. One more annoying thing she does is she’ll destroy rolls of toilet paper and she can be a bit much at times for my American short hair Drucilla because Drucilla is a bit aloof and passive. Though their relationship has improved, I’ve found them grooming each other and napping in the same chair. Brian, the breeder I got her from is very nice and the other cats at his cattery were very nuzzley. She’s a lot of fun. Though I will say I think her nails grow pretty quickly
I can't seem to remember just how much my Arabella talked. I live in a Senior home and not sure if a new cat would be too disturbing though I would not leave her alone very much. Please let me know. I want another Burmese but am not sure and I love how you talk about Matilda.
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.
The only problem with Burmese are, once you have lived with one you can't even think about having any other breed.
Well said!
The title should be 'Are you the right Human for a Burmese cat?'
She is paralyzed and trusts you very much. And yes. Their fur is likesilk. I groom mine almost every day. She gets no hair balls. Blessing for sure. Good day or bad day my cat Sky always makes things better. Now that I live in the South, she is good at hearing sounds outside. Matilda is maturing and seems even more relaxed with your family.
Welp, you and Matilda just made my decision super easy to get a Burmese kitty. The way she just lays there sleeping while you're talking and petting her just shows how safe she feels with your voice and presence. Awesome video, thank you!
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.
I had to watch more of this one. Burmese are great. I agree the Burmese needs to be attended to. They follow you everywhere and do not like it when you leave them alone too long. My Burmese snores. It is so fun to hear it. Flood a Burmese with love and you will be very surprised at what these cats can give back. As they age the bond will tighten. This cat you have here is perfect in my eyes. They do have boundaries too. Watch out for the claws. Burmese claws are as sharp as razors. and the will accidentally scratch you. I prefer not to clip my cat's nails. And never ever consider declawing any cat! So cruel. I love your cats! Bye for now.
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.
I had a stray black cat I adopted and you would have thought he was full Burmese! He had dog characteristics- loved belly rubs, highly affectionate, had to take naps when I did, etc. Midnight never mewed though - he didn’t have to. You could tell what was going on in that kitty mind of his just by looking at him!
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 pretty
My Burma was so same, just chill. No gone :(
Arto Kallunki so sorry to hear you lost your burmese!
I miss my Burmese cat so much. She was such a beautiful, loving little girl.
Everything you say in this video reminds me of her.
They are very special cats 😻
Bad breath can sometimes be abscessed tooth, which happens more with wet food since it doesn’t scrap off plaque as dry food does. Learned this when our cat had to get a tooth removed then his breath cleared up.
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.
Matilda is beautiful!
Matilda is just like my old friend BooBoo, the perfect cat. Full on cats but exactly what my heart desires, pure joy and love in return for 100% dedication, both ways. Softest fur, warmest cuddles, a true soul companion. I hope I meet my burmese boys, George, Arthur/BooBoo and my Reg/BonBon when this life is finished 💜💜💜
They are perfect, agreed ❤️
Does Matilda shed a lot? She is beautiful ❤
She has very short hair. She sheds, but not much
This catb with the Aqua blue eyes is not a burmese cat. To me it is looking more like a Tonkinese! Which is a breed recognised in the cat fancy and worldwide pedigree as Tonkinese which is crossed between Siamese and a burmese. I know cos I have one myself. They are wonderful cats Xx
Matilda's eyes are yellow and she is a registered Burmese. Maybe you are seeing blue eyes because of the light? Her momma was a beautiful tortie and the dad a big brown guy, the same color as her. I met her parents and I have her papers. She's European chocolate 🍫 Burmese 🥰
My family and I had a burmese cat while I still lived at home with my parents .... small cat, BIG personality and she lived till she was 19
MATILDA CAT 🐈 IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE HER SWEET PRETTY LITTLE FACE SO UNIQUE 😻😺😸❣️
Burmese are fine cats. Raise them with love and they will return the love ten fold. The trust they offer needs to be earned. Also they follow you everywhere. My Burmese does not like it if she is left alone.I miss your channel. Still the prettiest Burmese on UA-cam.
THE teeth : don't give her wet food or temptations.
Oriental cats Burmese Siamese Japanese have soft teeth ,plus a tartar problem around 8 to 10 YEARS.take a picture when she yawns.🦫🇨🇦🐈⬛
Too late for us, she loves wet food. I do need to take her for a cleaning though
Beautiful cat! I grew up with a siamese and she was the smartest cat I've ever known! She was never 'wild' like the siamese have the reputation for; she was always very loving. She used to sleep part of the night with me and part with my Mom. We got her when I was 2 years old and she lived to be 18 years old. We literally grew up together.
Love that story! Thanks for sharing 😻
@@LenaMatildaCats You're very welcome!
I am from Burma/Myanmar. and cats here are very different lol
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 UA-cam. 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.
ua-cam.com/video/l_MlH_X0Z98/v-deo.html here’s the link
I have had two male Burmese cats for 17 years now. What a journey it's been. I remember when they turned 4 years old and I was thinking they were now getting mature and it would become a bit easier. Nope, at 17 now they are still a hand full. Absolutely amazing cats but what was said in the video is very true, they give a lot but need just as much in return. If you want a cat that is interactive, ultra affectionate and to emotionally bond with then a Burmese and especially a male Burmese is a great choice. I can have friends kids come around and the cats will be carried around and even dressed up, thats how easy and affectionate mine are. But close a door in the house or move them out of the bedroom because there are guests and don't expect an easy ride. If you are sick they won't leave your side, if you are gardening they will garden with you, in the bath they will walk the bath rim and cooking in the kitchen with you. Finally mine love the be carried, on on the shoulder the other upside down. Not easy to cook with a cat on your shoulder but sometimes you have to. Would I get another Burmese when they are gone? Yes I think so but maybe an older one that needs rehoming rather than a kitten. They need a buddy.
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 ❤
Oh yes! There is noone like them
My mom has a career in cat shows and knows everything about cats. This is her favorite breed and some of her kittens grew up to be the greatest nicest cats we've ever had. She prefers them because all they want to do is sit on your lap! What could be better than that
I used to have a Burmese much different looking..... Is she a Tokinese?
She’s European Burmese. Did you have the American?
All of your points where spot on! My Xochi is all
of these things and has been such a great addition to our home. One thing to add is her curiosity and wanting to constantly try all of my foods and drinks 😳 please note this should you have or be considering a Burmese.
i plan to get one. i have a male black american shorthair. bombay kittens!😁
I would love a Bombay!
She is a beauty.
I just found your video and beautiful Matilda. I lost my beloved Arabella three weeks ago and cannot seem to want to live without her. She too was a Burmese. How on earth do I live without her? Matilda looks so like her.
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.
Kiut cat
I already have a burmese kitten, shes about 5 months old. I really want to get her a buddy (another burmese) but im not sure if they will get along, any tips?
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. 😍
My Burmese Cats name are Manta and Lilli. Manta is Brown like Matilda and Lilli is blue
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!
Im better whit my Scottish Fold, they look at me like im a god or something.
😂
Interesting, I have a Birman, not a Burmese, and he is also super needy, cuddly and a stalker 😂 I think he would do better with a friend, but I can’t afford it. :(
M bermis cat
Would add as well they are the most loving cats. Even now years after they passed I miss them so much .
beautiful creatures.
matilda so lovely
I only ever had blue and lilac boys I LOVE THEM!! 💖💖💖
hiiii this is my dream kat and my name is matilda
Beautiful name!
same as mine. they not hiding their nails 😂😂
Would you say that even an adult Burmese would be stressed being left on its own? I'd really love one but I work full time. I may have to look for a different cat if it will be a problem.
That’s also depending on individual cat personality. They would probably get used to it eventually I guess. Also cats do sleep most of the day, so you do have that working in your favor.
I ended up going with a Russian blue anyway. Getting him 21st march. I can't wait, he's beautiful.
@@wardy940 I think the RB is a great choice for a solo cat, a world better than the Burmese as an only cat!
@@LenaMatildaCats yeah I thought so too, after doing some research into them. I've gotta say, it was your videos though, that made me realize how amazing they are. So thanks for that. Lena is just a stunning cat.
@@wardy940 Glad my girls helped a little :D Best of luck with the new kitty!
Is it ok if instead of 2 of these cats is it ok if like dogs would be ok? Because i still go to school for 7 hours and my parents too so would it be ok for dogs to keep the cat company?
I think a dog would also be a great companion, if they get along 👍
A dog isn't a substitute for a cat. They are a completely different species, with completely different behavior & social needs.
Cats that are kept solitary, meaning without any other cat, will become anti-social to other cats. That means they actually forget how to communicate with their own species & they end up seeing them only as strangers & enemies...to reverse that is usually very difficult or even impossible. Which is a very sad thing.
They also tend to develop behavioral issues like grumpy & moody behavior, aggression, overly sensitivity, depression, bullying behavior, frustration & a lot more.
It's like keeping a human only with a dog as company for their whole life...that human will end up mentally sick. It's no different with cats.
Matilda is such a beautiful kitty cat, love her so much, a hug from me.❤🐾🐾❤🐾🐾🎄⛄🎶🐈🐈
I have a Russian blue on a raw meat recipe diet same as the cat lady. Its changed my cat more energy and looks great now,breath no longer smells
My name is
Mathilda lol
Beautiful name
I’ve already got one cat to be a companion for the burmese kitten I’m getting
Thank you for information, I’ve just got grown up Burmese and just learning how to deal with my little buddy ❤
I have a kitty who is from a shelter, but she is hypoallergenic, insanely loving and social, vocal, and looks exactly like a burmese. If you brush her hair one way it black, and the other way it is a rich brown. I’m so sure she is burmese. And I think that will have to be my breed after experiencing the love they give ❤️
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 ❤️
Thank god im doing online school so I will be home and give LOTS of attention to them!
i like yvi🎉🎉🎉🎉 r ru
yr voice
This is a great vid and I love Burmese cats!!!
I’m thinking about getting a burmese cat but I’m wondering how much attention it needs. I go to school everyday and one day is approximately 7 hours, will it be stressed when I’m in school? (I don’t plan getting 2 burmese cats)
That is probably a lot of alone time for a Burmese. You could end up with a stressed cat and some behavioral issues
I got one cat I should have gotten 2 at the same time - my beautiful girl had separation anxiety- her brother came 4 years later another Burmese she hates him but at l least he is home with her and she settled down a lot
*True Pedigreed Burmese, Bombay, Burmilla, Australian Mist & Tonkinese catz are 5 of the finest cat breeds money can buy.* What do they all have in common? They all carry generous amounts of *Burmese Blood* in their foundation lineage. It would be very difficult if not impossible to find better cat breeds than these 5 imho!
What about a ragdoll cat?
Are they suitable for small apartments?
We've always lived in small apartments. What matters is the company, they need company.
@@LenaMatildaCats I'm thinking of having a Burmese kitten, I work from home some days and I'm in almost every evening do you think that would be enough?
Matilda’s adorable. I’m thinking of getting a Burmese.
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? :-)
Cats also a good pet to keep around children if they’re not allergic because they help children learn to be considerate. Because have boundaries and give feedback on how they want to be loved
Very interesting and informative video Lena.
I could listen to your voice forever too.
I wish you rainbows.
thank you and same to you 😸
I have a 5 year old Ragdoll and a 3 year old Boston terrier. They are best friends. My Ragdoll boy is soooo laid back and will accept a kitten. Will a Burmese kitten get along with dogs and cats if introduced as a kitten? And I work from home. They are never alone
My late bermy would rather sit on my lap then beg for food during dinner. Contrary to his skinny siamese friend who would angle the food from my plate.
I’m thinking about getting 2 Burmese kittens, so they can be raised together. But I started looking at the Korat that’s very similar to the Burmese. I can’t decide if another Burmese would be a better companion for a Burmese or a Korat. Maybe even a tonkinese.
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.
I want to get a cat but my mom is worried about scratching, and she is also worried because I have a lot of younger brothers, would this breed be good around children
unsure if my kitty is a burmese or a siamese, but i am really hoping that he'll warm up to me
With a face that cute, definitely
so precious!!
Soo beautiful! 😻
We have had plenty and 2 of them together home all day r fine
I have one and he is the most adorable, loving talkative cat. LOVE HIM.
My burmese didn't have any bad breath at all when he was barf fed. Now as he is elder he needs 1/3 part commercial food (he eats both wet and dry) and the bad breath instantly came with it.
She's a beauty. Congrats on your upload!
Very helpful video, thank you!
My neighbors have a Burmese who comes outside regularly, and is precious. He stalks rodents, but will come say hi and lay on my bare toes for a pet. I absolute adore him. I wonder if this breed would make a good family barn cat to patrol the feed barn. I'll need to get a cat of my own soon, but this cat will defiantly be an outside/barn cat with lots of family and extended family activity around to be a part of. Tractors do drive through often, but nothing that moves too quickly. A sensible cat should be able to be perfectly safe I'd recon.
I can't speak to the outdoors disposition, but I guess as long as the cat gets plenty of attention, they need it 😻
