The Burmese Cat

The Burmese Cat

Dorothy Silkstone Richards; Robine Pocock, Moira Swift and Vic Watson

Since their introduction from the United States to Britain in the 1940s the popularility of the Burmese has grown enormously. Perhaps less ‘difficult’ than Siamese they now rank as the second largest group of pedigree cats. It is surprising therefore that enthusiasts for these exotic, gentle and elegant animals have had to wait until this book for a truly authoritative and comprehensive study. 

The professional breeder will welcome the depth of information on genetics, boarding and breeding techniques: an extended Burmese genealogy, gestation table, and colour-mating chart are particularly valuable.

All owners of Burmese will find an unrivalled compendium of material on every aspect of Blues, newer colours, history of the breed and cat care pakced with the combined expertise of four leading breeders and exhibitors of Burmese.
