Origins
The Tiffanie cat is essentially a long-haired version of the Burmilla. Its history traces back to accidental breeding between a Chinchilla Persian and a Burmese in the UK during the 1980s.

How can I take good care of my Tiffanie?
Nutrition
Ensure that your Tiffanie consumes a balanced diet rich in high-quality protein. Look for cat food that lists meat as the primary ingredient. Fresh water should always be available. Consider investing in a cat water fountain, as some Tiffanies enjoy the stimulation of moving water. Be cautious with treats; while it’s tempting to spoil your pet, overfeeding can lead to obesity and related health issues.
Grooming
Bathing should be done infrequently, only as needed. When bathing, ensure to use a cat-specific shampoo to maintain the coat’s health and shine.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Start by brushing from the head, moving towards the tail. Work in sections, being gentle around sensitive areas like the belly. This ensures that no knots are missed, and the skin is stimulated uniformly.
If you find a mat or tangle, try to gently tease it apart with your fingers before using a comb. If it’s particularly stubborn, consider seeking professional help rather than risking hurting your cat.
Tiffanies can sometimes have watery eyes which can lead to staining. Gently wipe away any discharge with a soft, damp cloth, ensuring you use a different section of the cloth for each eye.
Exercise
Tiffanies 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
These cats are intelligent and receptive, meaning they can pick up on training cues quite swiftly. Use positive reinforcement techniques, offering treats or praise for good behaviour. Apart from litter training, consider teaching your Tiffanie cat basic commands or tricks like “come,” “sit,” or even leash walking.
This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
Most Asked Tiffanie Questions
No cat is truly hypoallergenic, but Tiffanies, with their long hair, might not be the best choice for allergy sufferers.
While they’re independent to an extent, Tiffanies thrive on companionship and should not be left alone for extended periods.
Finding a reputable Tiffanie breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved Tiffanie kitten. A Tiffanie 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 Tiffanie for sale is usually around AUD $800 to $1500.
