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 Straight is the straight-eared sibling of the Scottish Fold, born in the same litters but without the ear-fold mutation. This medium-sized cat weighs 6–13 pounds and shares the Fold's round face, big eyes, and compact build — the only visible difference is the upright, normally shaped ears. They appear in all the same coat types, colors, and patterns as the Fold, from short dense coats to flowing longhair in tabby, solid, bicolor, and more.
Scottish Straights have the same sweet, mellow temperament as their folded-eared relatives — playful without being hyperactive, affectionate without being clingy. They enjoy interactive play and are known for their soft, chirpy voices. Friendly and adaptable, they do well with children, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs.
