So what's the difference in character between Siamese , tonkanese and Burmese? Which one makes the best pet? This is just advanced day dreaming as current cat is in good health and would not like a new cat at all!
I had a Burmese as a teen he was my savior and I loved him beyond all limits. He took me through my fathers death in my 20's also and I view him as iraplacable.
I currently have a Birman who is a nice cat lovely pet but nowhere near my Burmese, I find him less affectionate and a little dull but still lovely. We got a Birman as I couldn replace my Burmese and also my husband was rather scared of him ( he possesivly used to sit on his chest glaring into his eyes when I took him home to meet my mum& cat he also stole his watch and chased him in the garden and jumped on his head). DH liked fluffier cats (he had never had a pet).
DH has kind of agreed next cat can be a more oriental type. He thinks Siamese are ugly ( I think they are great) he likes the looks of the tonkanese and still views Burmese as slightly evil 😕. DH is no animal or cat expert and has no idea how extreme they can be LOL I am a real oriental cat fan the loader and more demanding the better ! We have 3 small children but will not get one whilst current cat still alive as he is an elderly spoilt solitary cat and would be upset. So anyone got advice or do I risk a second Burmese?
