A silky, muscular charmer that wants to be in your lap
The Burmese is a compact, surprisingly heavy shorthair with a satin coat and expressive gold eyes. It is bold, people-loving and playful into old age, and it strongly dislikes being left alone.

Yes, they are sociable, playful and usually enjoy family life. They do best with children who play gently and include them in activities.
They are talkative but usually softer-voiced than Siamese types. They chat when they want food, play or company.
They cope poorly with long periods alone and can become bored or unhappy. A companion animal, or midday visits, is a good idea.
