Summary
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 Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
