Burmese Pet Insurance
A medium-sized, very muscular cat who feels considerably heavier than they appear. The Burmese is a cat which loves to look at the world around them. Their favourite place may often turn out to be a window where they can observe the world outside. Comfortable with other Burmese, they may not get along as well with other breeds but do love a daily petting session from their human owners. Their short coats have a low tendency to shed, and their life expectancy is 8-12 yrs.
