European Burmese Page
Breed Description:
European Burmese are very smart and active. The EuroBurms are very much like the Abys, with a few differences, besides colour. They are very heavy, because of all the muscle and are very fast on the ground (even faster than the Abys on the ground). They always jump onto things to get to the highest point in the house or apartment and if they try to attempt what the Abys do, which is jump across from one high spot to another, you will find that they fall in mid air. The other difference is that the EuroBurms love to stay on a person's chest or lap for long durations and if there is something going on in another part of the house or apartment, they want you to get up and take them to see what it is. They are called the "Velcro Strips" or "Kling-ons" of the cat world. They love to sleep with you, under the covers. They will meet you at the door when it is time to come home from work . They also love to help prepare the food and help sample the food, too. They play fetch with kitty caterpillars (made from pipe cleaners). They would be okay with dogs.
I find that the boys are very sweet, and the Torties in the girls are also very sweet. The Solids in the girls are very prissy, too sophisticated for most people, whereas the Torties are like tomboys, clowns, goofballs and very personable. The Torties can hold their own with the boys in play fighting. And the Torties are very rare in the States and their colours are described as Marbled and the photos don't do them justice at all. Once you have a Tortie, you'll see why they are very popular in other Countries.
Here are some of the European Burmese that I have had and are either placed with other Breeders or have been petted out. There are 8 different colours shown here and as I get other colours of the European Burmese to show you, I will be putting them up here too. European Burmese come in 10 colours.
This 1st photo is Rosepark Kaleeka Royale of Bes, a Brown female that I bought from Christine Atkins in Bargo, NSW Australia back in Sept. 1996. Kaleeka is about 1 year old in this photo. Kaleeka has been spayed and placed in a Pet home with some Retired people.
This next photo is Bes Bargo's Imp of Abristine, a Chocolate female, who's mother was Imported pregnant (with her and her other littermates) from Mark Houghton-Smith in Kiama, NSW Australia back in Sept. 1996. Imp was born 25-Nov-1996 in Portland, Oregon USA.
This next photo is Bes Krystal Warrior, a Lilac male and he is from one of my original females that I brought over from Christine Atkins in Bargo, NSW Australia.
One European Burmese that I had is a Lilac Tortie and her name was Bijouxcats Krystal SheerRose of Bes. SheerRose was from a female (Rosepark Sheer Magic) that I had Imported from Australia in Sept. 1996, which is also the mother of Warrior, so SheerRose is half sister to Warrior. SheerRose died 29-July-2000, from a mutated Virus that came into my home by some Silver Aby kittens that a breeder sent me.
This next photo is Tailwind's Blue Neftys of Bijouxcats, a Blue female and she is from Cicki Hasselblad (who lives in Germany). Neftys is now with Lou Keims in Maryland.
This next photo is Burmtail's Mercedes of Bijouxcats, a Chocolate Tortie female and was from a Breeding that took place just before Cicki left Sweden to move over here to California. Mercedes was born in San Francisco, California on 23-Sept-1997. Mercedes is now in Maryland with Lou Keim.
Activity's Terantino of Bes is a Red European Burmese. Tino is from Sweden and was purchased by Cicki Hasselblad. This isn't a very good photo of him.
And the other one is Bes Artemis of Ranea and she is a Brown Tortie and daughter of Bijouxcats Krystal SheerRose of Bes.
Bill also, breeds New Zealand working Kelpies (a type of herding dog).
This is Bes Skya Blue and her date of birth is 1-June-2000. She is a Blue Tortie and this photo doesn't do her justice. She loves to play fetch with Kitty Caterpillars and she will only stop fetching, if you tire out before her. She is now going down to Boca Raton, Florida to live with Scott & Terry Wolfson.
This is Bes Kahlua's Miracle and she is a Miracle baby, as Kahlua, her mother had a Portosystemic Shunt (Congenital Liver problem) and should have never conceived. Micki, was found healthy (no Liver problems) when we spayed her and will be kept as a pet, as I think she thinks I'm her mom and I know that it would be very hard for me to let her go. Micki was brought unto this world on 7-December-2001 and she is a Chocolate Tortie.
On this day of 24-May-2007, I just found out that Micki passed away at her new home (I don't know when), but the people who had her didn't have the decency to let me know. This is very devistating to me. This was my little girl. Now I wished I never gave her to the people who had an uncaring Vet, who blamed me about her health and her teeth. May she rest in peace.
This is Bes Blue Orchid, a Blue. BO's birth date is 20-April-2002.
Here is Janzanco Alexander of Bes. Alex is a Cream and was Imported from England. His Breeder is Jan Bowen and he is behind most of my cats.
This is Bes Orange Blossom who is a Red female. She now lives with Cheryl Gill in New York.
Here is Bes Creme Gaia, a Cream European Burmese, who is now living the life of luxury in Santa Monica.
Here is GC Starlitemist Leonardo of Bes. He now lives in Ohio with Ginger Gunlock. He is a Red and his date of birth is 13-January-2004.
