Care & health
Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Straightforward coat care; differences are mostly standard/type and line, so sourcing quality matters more than special routines.
Environment & space
Typical indoor homes work best with a predictable daily rhythm and consistent play outlets.
Daily routine
Minimal grooming; consistent interactive play and social time tends to be the practical lever.
Health sensitivities
Favor programs with clear screening + follow-up (what they test, what they see as cats mature, and how they act on results).

Background
Developed from the same general Burmese foundation but shaped under a European/UK breed standard. It keeps the compact “solid” silhouette while diverging in details from the American Burmese type.
Social & behavior
Temperament and interaction style
Personality & activity
Often engaged and people-aware—moderate energy with a companion-style rhythm in many lines.
Handling & social style
Typically does best with consistent gentle contact; many prefer frequent small check-ins over intense handling.
