Welcome To Burmese World:
Welcome to the all-new Burmese
World, which we hope you will enjoy it to the
fullest. Centuries ago, the Burmese Cat was
used to guard Burmese Temples. But in recent
History, it all happened in in 1930 in San
Fransisco when Dr. Joseph Thompson, a
psychiatrist for the U.S Navy, believed he had a
cat which carried the elements of a whole new
breed. Wong Mau, a small brown cat, was very
beautiful and well-tempered. How Wong Mau, got to
the U.S is yet to be discovered, but we believe
that Dr. Thompson brought the cat with him when
he came to the U.S from Yangoon,Mynamar and this
is most likely, because of Dr.Thompson being in
that area, and his fascination with Cats in
particular. However some people believe that a
U.S Navy Captain gave Wong Mau to Dr. Thompson
when He was already in America. It happened
that he loved Wong Mau so much he decided to
carry out expirimental breedings to show that she
indeed was a new breed. Critics laughed, saying
that Wong Mau was a 'wrong' Siamese, and still
others, calling Wong Mau a 'plain brown cat', but
while critics scoffed, Dr. Thompson pressed on,
into what turned out to be the first time in the
cat fancy, that someone carried out expirimental
breedings just to show that a certain cat has the
elements of a whole new breed. And breed he did,
Dr.Thompson bred Wong Mau to a cat that looked
most like Wong Mau-an Seal-Point Siamese, which
was from the area of where Wong Mau was
found-around the Malay Peninsula. Dr.Thompson
also owned a Siamese Cattery. Well, it turned out
that the kittens resulting from the breeding,
were very discouraging, and did not look like
Wong Mau, it was only when the kittens were bred
back to their Mother, did it produce the first
true Burmese. Actually, what we believe now is
that Wong Mau, was actually half Burmese and
Tolkinese, a breed which looks alot like the
Burmese now.
The Popularity of the Burmese Breed:
The Burmese Cat is in some of the most popular
cat breeds in the world today. In the 1996 CFA
Cat Breed Popularity Survey the Burmese Cat
Ranked 11th among 36 Breeds. That is quite a
feat! The Burmese Popularity has soared to even
more in recent years. It is not hard to see why,
though, considering the Burmese Cats', Temper,
Looks, Dog-Like Personality, and the delightfull
attitude. Some Burmese Cat Catteries sell 14,000
cats in 30 Years. The Burmese Cat is probably the
perfect cat, balanced in each way. You may find
you can't just have one!

An New Look for The Burmese:
Over the past 15 years a new Burmese
Cat Look has been developed. One group of Burmese
has kept the previous look called 'traditional'.
Other people bred to produce rounder and plumper
faces but not completley flat faces which now
often called the 'contemporary' Burmese Cat Face.
The breeders of each look have contemplated that
their type of face is the look of a true Burmese.
The end result now is that both faces are equally
accepted. It is believed that some U.S cat
registries prefer the contemporary look; and
others favor the traditional. We hope a Burmese
will come into your family and that you will come
to love the breed that we have loved.
Knowing Your Burmese:
Alot of what people consider usual play is the
kitten or cat actually showing us it's wild
tendancies in a tamed and watered down way. A
play mouse is not just a toy to your Burmese, it
is a live pray that can't get away! It may look
like they are hurting one another but play
fighting kitten to kitten is like that-they are
just playing to have fun, and practice in case
they ever need to fight someday. Kittens have
been taught to manage their play in such a way
that they won't hurt each other. Seeing your
Burmese Kitten convert your house into your
Burmese's own play jungle can be a fascinating
experience. In quite a few ways, the action of
your Burmese Cat are very much the same as some
of the big cats in the feline family. There are
alot of activities that are not acceptable, but
those actions have links to the actions and
activities of Wild Cats. When your Burmeser Cat,
bats at his food and makes it fly on to the
ground there is a reason. It is because your
Burmese would rather think that he caught his
dinner and that you didn't just give it to him.
Because there is a bit of feral cat (or wild) in
every pet cat, there is a bit of kitty in every
adult pet cat. When, the Burmese Cat is contented
he will close his eyes and retract his claws and
his paws in and out, that is believed to go back
to when your kitten was nursing, since kittens do
that in order to get the milk flowing. You
will find it a pleasent experience figuring out
your Burmese Cat-although you will probably never
figure out your cat or kitten completley-just as
you think you know them like a book- a Burmese
Cat will do something fun and exciting ....that
is one of the many joys of owning a Burmese cat
or Kitten.
The Temper of the Burmese Cat:
The Burmese's Loving Temperment is what makes
them. They love to come up to you, lick your
hand, and rub their face against yours....purring
like a motorboat the whole time.They are a very
relaxing cat, and they love to sit on your
lap-for a while....these cats are hardly
lazy, and when they want to can be active-not to
mention talkative! They loved to be involved with
whatever your doing, running your household, and
being the new leader of the home. They hate
to feel deserted, and they need constant love and
attention.
Your Burmese's Pet:
Have you ever seen a cat or possibly your cat,
'have a pet'? Well, some times your cat likes
something to dote on, even to the extent a cat
will pick up a certain toy and carry it around
everywhere, like a pet. We recommend, having
another cat to be your cat's freind-or pet, and
that cat doesn't even have to be a Burmese, it
can be any breed, or even a Moggie, as in Tiger's
case (he is a moggie that we got a little before
Cruiser...you can see Tiger on the Our Farm
Site). Usually whichever cat you get first is the
cat that is going to need or want the pet, but in
our case, Tiger is now Cruiser's pet, when Tiger
came 1 week before him!! If you get them both at
a young age, you have a better chance of getting
them to love each other. Now, Tiger and Cruiser
both love each other, play fighting and wrestling
all day. Tiger, is the adventurous one, while
Cruiser, is just a sweet little thing that can't
do anything wrong (at least he thinks that),
although sometimes when Cruiser is mad, he'll
come up and start wrestling. They do everything
together, sleep, eat, play...they are like
brothers...and that is what we recommend-having 2
cats, espessialy if you work all day, and your
cat is lonely at home. Whatever you do we know
that you will be happy with your Burmese
Cat. Their Beauty........
Cruiser is one of those cats that loves to be
held and loves to sit on your lap,and purr like a
Motorboat.....of course at times when his pal,
Tiger is being mischevious Cruiser has to join in
and it is funny....they are both partners in
crime, jumping on the table and then as soon as
we come to get them off they jump off quickly,
and they know it frustrates us, we can tell they
are having fun, by the look in their big eyes!
Cruiser is said to be a Sable.
is,
Cruiser's
attitude is a lovable little teddy bear, and that
is the first thing people say when they see him,
''He is like a little Teddy Bear".Those big
glassy eyes are so hard to resist, espessially
when you tell him he can't have something (like a
treat) he looks up at you with those eyes, and it
makes you want to give it to him, which we end up
doing 90% of the time. His personality has
changed so much since we first got him, then he
was completley different, and there is 2 reasons:
(1): The day we bought him he had His shots
(2):He was very scared leaving his home, and his
mother, and in a few days when he got to know his
surroundings, he began to perk up a bit, and by
the time the 2 weeks settling time was
over he was fullly settled in, and was as happy
as he could be. You see Tiger, which we got a
week before, wasn't the best of freinds with
Cruiser in the beginning, and a couple of
scratches and a hiss later, they got to be loving
freinds, which they are now. Now, they both love
each other and act like brothers helping each
other grooming each other, and playfighting every
once in a while.
Training
Your Cat
The secret to training a cat is to train them
when they are young, and you have to do it right
and use the right methods, which we will give you
in a bit. Cruiser is doing very good at training,
already recegnizing the word 'sit' and heeding to
it most of the time, and we are still training
him, and he is doing very good. You can train
your cat using this method. 1. Get Your Cat's
favorite food or treat, and place one in your
hand. 2. Place your Cat on a chair. 3. Put the
food behind his head, so that he sits down 4. Say
Sit, and Give him his food/treat. Repeat this for
about 2 weeks and he should learn it
easily.
Come:
1. Get your Cat's favorite food or treat and
place one in your hand 2. Make sure he can smell
it 3. Say come, He will probably come because he
smells the food, say it once again and give him
his food/treat. Try this for about 2 weeks
and He should learn it easily. Hope this
helps!
F.A.Q
Questions and Answers:
Q:I have a Burmese Kitten; I just got him he is
very scared and seems to just want to stay in his
cage; what do I do??
A: Well, the secret is to wait.....that is what
we did with ours. You may get a little worried in
the meantime but they are just settling in. It
usually takes 2 weeks to fully settle in and know
their new surroundings.
Q: He hasn't been eating......What should I do?
A: If you put him near his food bowl he is likely
not to eat out of it. What you should do is take
some food in your hand and put it a little bit
under his nose so that he can smell it (the more
food in your hand the better) He probably is
going to eat it. If he doesn't eat, repeat
this process until he does, and once he knows it
is food that you are giving him, he should eat
out of his bowl.
Q: He hasn't been using his Littler Box:
A: He may be scared and not secure enough to use
it or it may because he hasn't been eating to go
to the bathroom (again from being scared)
Q: What if he doesn't drink water?
A: We advise not to give water to your cat
with an eyedropper unless an emergency. Cat's are
not stupid and will drink when they need it. If,
they don't for a very long time something might
be wrong.
Q: One of my Burmese's eye is droopy, it wasn't
like that when I got him though.
A: This is clearly related to stress and because
it is so stressful one of there eyes is shut.
But, it should be able to open and you should see
the cat having it open sometime.
Q: My kitten (or cat) will not let me shoot his
(liquid) vitamins in his mouth?
A: Well, we put our kittens vitamins in his food.
You could try that.
Q: My cat doesn't seem to be playful (pre 1.5
weeks)
A: Well he probably is still frightened and
doesn't feel comfortable to play....he should
perk up soon, though.
