European Burmese — size comparison — facts and sources

The European Burmese is muscular but lighter and less round-headed than the American type. Short, silky hair lies close. Large expressive eyes and a gentle muzzle shape are important features.

CFA registers it separately, and this type allows more colours than American breeding. The distinction reflects separate development from shared Burmese ancestry. FIFe’s Burmese name refers to the European type.

It is often highly sociable, curious about new activities and eager to play. Following, vocalising and seeking direct contact express a close human bond.
