A healthy Burmese is a happy Burmese.
Burmese cats are highly social and don't do well left alone for long periods – they thrive with company, whether human or another pet. Their short, glossy coat needs minimal grooming. They're playful and curious well into adulthood, so climbing structures and interactive toys help keep them entertained.
