Origins
The Burmilla cat breed’s inception is quite recent, originating in the UK in the early 1980s.

How can I take good care of my Burmilla?
Nutrition
Your Burmilla requires a balanced diet of proteins, fats, and essential vitamins. High-quality commercial cat food usually suffices, but you can always consult with your vet to ensure it meets all dietary needs. Always ensure your cat has access to fresh water. Keep their water bowl clean and refill it daily.
Grooming
Brush your Burmilla’s cat once a week to reduce shedding and prevent matting. This also helps distribute skin oils, promoting a healthier coat.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Burmillas don’t typically require frequent baths. Bathe only when necessary, using a cat-specific shampoo.
Clean their ears gently with a cotton ball dampened with a vet-approved ear cleaner. Avoid using Q-tips as they can hurt their delicate inner ears.
Use a damp soft cloth to wipe away any discharge from their eyes, moving from the inner corner outward.
Exercise
Burmillas appreciate interactive play. Engage them with toys that mimic the hunt, like feather wands or motorised mice. Puzzle toys can also be beneficial, stimulating their minds and offering a challenge.
Training
Burmillas are usually quick learners. It’s easier to train kittens, but older Burmillas can learn too. The key is consistency. Always use positive reinforcement techniques. Reward them with treats or affection when they exhibit good behaviour.

Most Asked Burmilla Questions
Burmillas are generally adaptable cats. While they prefer a consistent routine, they can adjust to new environments if introduced gradually. When moving to a new home or making significant changes in their current environment, it’s essential to provide them with familiar items like toys and bedding to ease the transition.
Burmillas are sociable and form strong bonds with their owners. They prefer company and may feel lonely if left alone for too long. If you’re away regularly or for extended periods, it’s a good idea to have another pet for companionship or arrange for someone to visit and interact with your Burmilla.
Finding a reputable Burmilla breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved Burmilla kitten. A Burmilla kitten for sale from an ethical breeder has a much better chance of growing into a calm, gentle adult cat. The average cost of a Burmilla for sale is usually around AUD $800 to $1200.
