===============================================


The ancestors of the Burmese are the Siamese and the “copper cat” of Burma (now known as Myanmar). It’s thought that they were temple and palace cats bred and kept by priests. The matriarch of the modern Burmese was a small, dark-brown cat named Wong Mau. She belonged to Dr. Joseph Thompson, who either acquired her from a sailor or brought her back himself from his travels, depending on which story you believe.

The history of the European Shorthair goes back to ancient Rome, where the breed was coveted for their great hunting skills. As the cat began to make their way around Europe, they first became renowned as an excellent farm cat, again due to the breed's talent at controlling vermin, before becoming accepted as the popular house cat that they are today.


Besides color, the European Burmese and the Burmese have other differences in appearance. The European has a more moderate appearance, especially when it comes to head type. He is more gently rounded with a body that is less compact but never long and slinky like that of the Siamese. The top of the head is slightly rounded with plenty of space between the ears and wide cheekbones that taper to a short, blunt wedge. The eyes, which range in color from yellow to amber, slant more toward the nose and have a less rounded opening than the eyes of the Burmese.

Medium-size ears are slightly rounded at the tips and tilt slightly forward. Slender legs are supported by small, oval paws. A medium-length tail tapers slightly to a rounded tip. Like the Burmese, the European Burmese is heavier than he looks and can also lay claim to the description “a brick wrapped in silk.” He wears a short and satiny coat that comes in 10 different colors: brown, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, and brown, blue, chocolate, and lilac tortoiseshell. The coat colors shade gradually to the roots, with the underside of the body slightly lighter than the top.

Red European Burmese comes in a warm orange apricot shade and may have slight tabby markings on the face. Cream-colored cats may also have slight tabby markings, and their nose leather and paw pads are pink. Blue is the same as in the Burmese, and the lilac coat is the same as the platinum coat of the Burmese. Brown is a rich, warm, seal brown, and chocolate is a warm milk chocolate color. Tortoiseshells have patches of color over the entire body.

The European Shorthair is a breed of cat that you'll see in a large variety of colors and markings. Common colors include brown, black, tan, and gray, and they're often seen sporting distinctive tabby patterns. When it comes to grooming, the European Shorthair is a fairly low-maintenance feline. Due to their short hair, you'll only need to brush the cat once a week or so.  This will help ward off the chances of hairballs and mats forming. In terms of climate, the European Shorthair is generally an adaptable breed of cat.
