About Burmese
The Burmese is a medium, muscular cat with a short, satin coat in rich solid colors and large golden eyes. Affectionate and people focused, it often follows a favorite person, enjoys play and training, dislikes long solitude, and usually stays lively and social into old age.
About Oriental Long Hair
