The Burmilla is a breed of cat. It is a cross between the Chinchilla Persian and Burmese cats.

Origin

In 1981, a woman named Miranda Bickford-Smith bought a male chinchilla Persian for her husband's birthday present.[1] The cat was named Jamari Sanquist. Miranda's neighbor had a female Burmese cat named Bambino Lilac Fabergé. The two cats were unintentionally crossed. This led to the creation of Burmilla.[1][2][3][4]

Appearance

Burmilla is a medium-sized cat, with physical traits similar to the Burmese cat. It has a short, dense and soft coat. Burmilla cats have the longhair gene like Chinchilla Persian. The long-haired version of the burmilla is a separate breed called Tiffanie.[5][6][7]

Temperament

The burmilla temperament is a combination of burmese and chinchilla breeds. They are active and playful like burmese cats in general. However, it is not as active as the original burmese breed, as it is balanced by the calm and graceful nature of the chinchilla.[8]
