Why Burmese Cats Are the Best

If we told you every single reason why Burmese cats are amazing pets, we’d need a bigger page!

This gorgeous breed has so many furrbulous qualities that set them apart as the dream kitty. If we had to narrow it down to three main qualities, we’d say the Burmese cat is a super smart, loyal, and endlessly cuddly breed.

When it comes to health, Burmese cats do come with a little baggage. While most conditions are pretty unlikely with the right amount of care, they aren’t impossible. So, it’s important as a Burmese pet parent to know and look for common health problems like:

  • Hip dysplasia
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Burmese head defect
  • Hypokalemic polymyopathy
  • Eye conditions
    • Why Your Burmese Cat Needs Breed-Specific Coverage

    They get the exact coverage they need based on breed-specific conditions.

    No more worry about affording treatments because you get a bunch of eligible coverage for breed-specific medical care.

    Enjoy peace of mind knowing your pockets are financially covered in the case of a medical emergency.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Does Burmese Cat Insurance At PetsOnMe Cover Pre-Existing Conditions?

    Unfortunately not. Any illnesses or accidents that your feline friend had before your policy kicked in with us won’t be covered on any of our insurance plans. But you do get a bunch of other great coverage options, like hereditary conditions specific to the Burmese breed, accidental injury care, prescribed medication, third-party liability, and a bunch more!

    Do Burmese Cats Get a Lot of Health Issues?

    Burmese cats are pretty healthy as far as pedigree cat breeds go. But, like all pure breeds, there are a few health issues that might pop up down the line.

    So, you’ll need to keep an eye out for them and make sure your cat gets routine care and has a healthy, balanced life. Hip dysplasia, diabetes mellitus, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the Burmese head defect, hypokalemic polymyopathy, and glaucoma are some of the main health mishaps to be wary of

    Are Burmese Cats Easy To Look After?

    When it comes to feline breeds, Burmese cats are actually super chilled out and easy to look after. They’re a short-haired breed, so there’s no need to groom them or worry about large clumps of hair lingering around your home. They are also really calm and peaceful cats, so you don’t need to worry about any crazy zoomies or keep up with too much playtime.

    Making sure your cat has all the basics is the way to their heart, and to ensuring a happy, low-maintenance kitty. Stuff like a balanced diet, toys to play with and climb, lots of snuggles, up-to-date vaccinations, and routine vet care will keep your Burmese healthy.

    Can Burmese Cats Be Left Alone?

    Pets, in general, shouldn’t be left all alone for too long. This isn’t just because they’ll miss you, but also because they can actually get pretty stressed out when they don’t have any company. Think about it: you wouldn’t fancy being kept indoors all day with no one to talk to, would you?

    It’s generally alright to let your Burmese cat hang out on their own for around 3 to 4 hours max, but if you’re not going to be home for longer than that, you should get a cat sitter. When you pick any of our policies at PetsOnMe, you actually get special discounts on our pet care services, including a generous 12% off cat sitting!

    How Long Burmese Cats Live For?

    Burmese cats can actually get pretty old — they usually live between 10 and 16 years!
    With the right love and care, your Burmese fur baby will live a long and happy life. Loads of TLC, regular vaccinations, a healthy diet, lots of exercise (they love a good zoomy!), and regular vet check-ups to make sure their health is in tip-top shape and they live a healthy, long life.
