How do the European or Foreign Burmese cats differ from the American Burmese?
European/Foreign Burmese are generally larger cats than their American counterparts being more elegant with lithe bodies & not as cobby (more “compact” conformation); also their tails are generally longer than American Burmese. European/Foreign Burmese have less rounded heads; the eye shape is different too. All types of Burmese should have yellow eyes with golden eye colour preferred. Both European/Foreign & American Burmese are muscular cats & share “the unexpected weight for size” when picked up. (Browse our links to Burmese Breed Standards).
