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 Scottish Fold traces its origins to a single barn cat named Susie, found in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1961 — the first documented cat with the breed's signature forward-folding ears caused by a natural cartilage mutation. This medium-sized cat weighs 6–13 pounds, has a round head, large round eyes, and a stocky, well-padded body. Scottish Folds come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in virtually every color and pattern including tabby, solid, bicolor, and calico.
Scottish Folds are sweet, easygoing cats known for their quirky habit of sitting in odd positions — including the "Buddha sit" with legs stretched out and paws resting on their belly. They are moderately active and enjoy interactive play without being hyperactive. Gentle with children and amiable with other pets, they adapt well to most living situations.
