Habitat N/A Behavior N/A Origin United Kingdom History Standards were produced in 1984 and the breed gained championship status in the United Kingdom in the 1990s. The Burmilla was acually created accidentally in the United Kingdom, two cats, one Chinchilla Persian and one Burmese, were each awaiting a partner of the same breed in different rooms. Accidentally one night the cleaner left the door open and the rest is history. The result was so adorable that a new breed was born. Common Foods cat food, milk |
