Burmese and Siamese Cats

The Burmese cat started out in Asia in these countries: Siam (now Thailand), Burma and the Malay Peninsula (now Malaysia). The breed started life in the USA when a female Burmese cat was imported from Asia in 1930.

This cat was mated with a Seal Point Siamese. From the offspring of this mating, a male cat was bred back to his mother. The result was the Sable Burmese.

That is the connection between the Burmese and Siamese cat breeds.
