Burmilla
The Burmilla was created by accident when a male Chinchilla had a secret meeting with a lilac female Burmese. The kittens were so
attractive that they quickly won the hearts of all who saw them and new
homes were found for them all. In fact so much interest was generated
that a repeat mating was done and from there a new breed was formed. The
kittens looked more like the Burmese than the Chinchilla and had the
inquisitive, friendly Burmese temperament but they had the stunning
silver colouring and the tipped markings of the Chinchilla.

The Burmilla is a cat of medium build, thanks to the Burmese blood in
its ancestry. The female's are much smaller
and daintier than the males.
The Burmilla is less boisterous than a Burmese, but less laid-back than a
Chinchilla. This cat loves attention and needs to be part of the
family. They can be quite demanding and often follow their owners around
the house crying for attention. If spoken to they often appear to
understand and answer. Burmillas are very intelligent and can often work
out such problems as how to open doors. The curiosity and friendliness
of the Burmilla can often lead them to stray into visitor's
cars or delivery vans and they may be best confined to the house or a
secure garden. They usually settle quite happily to this arrangement, they do love their home comforts.

Burmilla's love to play with toys
and a scratching post should be provided for amusement as well as quality
time set aside for play with their humans. They can be very sensitive to
their owner's feelings and this makes them excellent companions. They
are generally good with children and when fed up with the rough and
tumble of play with human children will stalk off until peace resumes.
