Himalayan Cat VS. Burmese Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


In all respects but coat pattern, the Himalayan shares the Persian’s sweet expression and soft round lines. It has a large, round head; large, round eyes; a short nose; full cheeks; and small ears with rounded tips. The head is supported by a short, thick neck and a deceptively sturdy, muscular body—a type known as “cobby.” A Himalayan’s legs are short, thick, and strong with large, round, firm paws. The tail is short but proportional to the length of the cat’s body.

A long, thick, shiny coat with a fine texture completes the Himalayan’s look. It’s long all over the body and includes an immense ruff around the neck, a deep frill between the front legs, long ear, and toe tufts, and a full “brush,” or tail.

The Himalayan is bred in the following point colors: chocolate, seal, lilac, blue, red, cream tortie, bluecream, chocolatetortie, lilaccream, seal lynx, blue lynx, red lynx, cream lynx, tortie lynx, bluecream lynx, chocolate lynx, lilac lynx, chocolatetortie lynx, and lilaccream lynx. The body is various shades of white to fawn with color only on the facial mask and the feet, ears, and tail. Unlike the Persian and the Exotic, the Himalayan’s eyes come in only one color: a deep, vivid blue.

Himalayans come in different “looks,” known as extreme and traditional. “Extreme” Himalayans, those seen in the show ring, have a flatter face, which may come with breathing problems. Cats with the traditional look have a more oldfashioned appearance, with a face that is not as flat and a nose that is set lower on the face with more of a “break,” permitting easier breathing.

The Burmese are often described as a “brick wrapped in silk,” a testament to his solid, muscular body. While the original Burmese was a dark solidbrown color known as sable, he now comes in other shades as well, including blue, champagne, and platinum. The cats have a compact body with a rounded head; large, expressive eyes in gold or yellow; and mediumsized ears that are rounded at the tips and tilt slightly forward.

The coat is short and satiny. The traditional sable is a rich, warm brown, slightly lighter on the underbody. A kitten’s coat darkens as it matures. Nose leather and paw pads are brown. A champagnecolored Burmese is a warm honeybeige shading to a pale goldtan on the underside. Nose leather is a light warm brown and paw pads are a warm pinkish tan.

Blue Burmese have a mediumblue coat with a slightly lighter belly. Nose leather and paw pads are slate gray. Platinum Burmese are a pale silverygray with light fawn undertones and a slightly lighter color on the underbody. The nose leather and paw pads are pretty lavenderpink. Some associations permit other colors, including tortoiseshell, lilac, and red.
