From Franny Syufy

Temperament: Burmese are well know for their adaptability. They are as comfortable in apartment life as they are in country living. These cats are extremely calm. The breed as a whole is rather quiet in voice. They are easy to care for, needing only an occasional grooming with a fine-tooth comb, and even better, a rubdown from their owner’s hand, which they love. They make excellent pets, and are loyal and affectionate.
