Which cat breed is right for you?
The Burmilla was created by accident in 1981 in the United Kingdom when a Chinchilla Persian escaped and mated with a lilac Burmese — producing kittens of such striking beauty that a deliberate breeding program was established. This medium-sized breed weighs 6–13 pounds and has an elegant yet muscular build with large, expressive green eyes. Their short, dense coat has a distinctive "tipped" or "shaded" silver pattern — as if each hair has been delicately painted at the tip — in colors including black, blue, brown, chocolate, and lilac.
Burmillas inherit the best of both parent breeds — the playful sociability of the Burmese and the gentle calm of the Chinchilla Persian. They are affectionate without being clingy, enjoy interactive play, and are generally good-natured with children and other pets. Their sweet, easygoing personality makes them wonderful companions for first-time cat owners.

The Nebelung — German for "creature of the mist" — is a rare, elegant breed developed in the 1980s in the United States from longhaired Russian Blue-type cats. Weighing 7–11 pounds, this medium-sized cat has a long, graceful body, vivid green eyes, and a stunning blue-gray double coat with silver-tipped guard hairs that shimmer in the light. The dense, silky fur forms a noticeable ruff around the neck and plume on the tail.
Nebelungs are gentle, reserved cats that form intense bonds with their chosen people but can be shy around strangers. They are creatures of routine — happiest when meals, playtime, and quiet hours follow a predictable schedule. Once comfortable, they are playful and affectionate, often following their favorite person from room to room like a silent blue shadow.
If a serene, silver-coated companion speaks to your soul, search for Nebelung cats on Puplister and find your misty match.
