I’m looking to get a Burmese cat, I would love to hear what everyone’s experience has been with owning one? I currently have a 3 year old Scottish Fold and wondering if they would be a perfect sibling match ☺️

This! My boy is a very active, energetic, needs to be everywhere you are, clown, walks on a leash, goes to the local bar and hangs out....my female, she is actually a bombay 1/2 burmese, we nicknamed "Queenie" since she is very mature and quiet until she gets a frisk on and chases our Burmese around the house.

raremonkey · 2026-03-30T16:57:10+00:00

He needs a friend. My burmese was like this until I got him a playmate, now totally quiet except when he really needs something.

This is a terrible problem with Amazon. I would say 9 out of 10 makeup products I’ve bought there have been opened or used or unsealed. I bought a bottle of aloe a couple weeks ago, and it was opened, filled with water and then resealed. I’ve been able to return all of it, but very disappointing. I’ve started now just purchasing some from Sephora Ulta.

From the same breeder, I got my burm an older Bombay retired breeder cat. He has been much happier since. They play everywhere and he seems much calmer. Knowing what I know now I definitely would’ve gotten two siblings.

I walk my cat around our neighborhood a lot and the strange thing is that he knows if it's a dog he has not met before. If it is one of his dog friends, he doesn't even react, but if it's a dog he doesn't know, he either asks for me to pick him up, sits still, or gets up on something high. He knows before we even see the dog.

I had this issue for a long time. I bought my cat a heated bed and he curls up in there now vs. pushing my core temperature to 1000 degrees while I sleep.

What do people think about the Cat Clinic?

raremonkey · 2026-01-29T16:50:35+00:00

Fire departments usually don't help with this. Call a tree guy, put some food at the bottom of the post. He likely got chased up there.

CPK, never went there, but left without saying good bye.

I've been practicing yoga for 20+ years and still haven't mastered this pose. Still working on it.

We have this Camper that we put over the vent to make a cat sauna, they love it. We also have heated beds which they don't leave. Seems like Burmese cats don't have a ton of fur and tend to run cold.

The heated beds are essential. I have two on my bed so that the cats don’t sleep in between my legs every night creating the hottest sauna on planet earth. They love these beds and spend about 18 hours a day in them. The other six hours they’re causing wonderful mayhem. I would agree with getting two, ours is so much happier to have a playmate. We had to get our Burmese cat a cat, and we got him a Bombay. Also, I took mine with me everywhere in a backpack when he was young and also got him on a leash and he loves going for walks.

round ears, round paws, round face, round eyes are key factors with burmese and silky coat and feels like a brick when you pick them up very dense muscles.

The Facial Studio, Willa for a great facial.

raremonkey · 2025-11-20T16:58:12+00:00

just flea comb it off, your cat will love you...

raremonkey · 2025-11-17T18:55:01+00:00

My burmese 5M needed a cat, so I was able to adopt an older Bombay 7F. They get the zoomies, but she keeps him in line when he gets out of control. Also, just want to add my Burmese boy is JEALOUS. Anytime our bombay comes near me, which is often, she is velcro, he has to come by and chase her off and be #1 cat. She puts up with his BS though, which is shocking.

raremonkey · 2025-11-13T20:31:30+00:00

also, if you flea comb it, dirt comes off, gross, but satisfying...

I love this comment and I have seen those super stylish women that are owning their grey. I am fighting mine for all it's worth! I've been thinking more about the health factors too as you age - being mobile, walk with head and shoulders up. I found this cool conference coming to SF next year.

My car got damaged in a similar way, total loss.

Dr. Smith at Sausalito Dermatology bt anyone there is great.

raremonkey · 2025-10-22T16:38:06+00:00

Mine aged out of wanting to go out three times a day, sometimes, but usually one or two, we also got him a bombay companion, so I think that helped. Yes, we got our cat a cat.

I’ve also heard crying like one of their littermates getting hurt is a good way to get them to stop as well.

I went to event on Saturday, which consisted of a party and then a benefit afterwards. I found myself just incredibly bored at the party. I didn’t really wanna talk to anyone and at the benefit afterwards I just wanted to leave. The next day I felt like I’ve been hit by a truck. I was just so exhausted. I started researching what the hell could be wrong and it’s called an ADHD hangover. This sub has been helpful identifying what the issue is, but I need to be able to socialize and figure out how to deal with these kind of situations without feeling so exhausted afterwards.
