Long slender lithe body is of very good weight and substance, feeling firm and muscular; straight back, gently rounded chest and slender shapely limbs ending in compact oval paws in proportion. Head shows short wide wedge, further accentuated by well developed jowls, slightly rounded top between well spaced medium ears, broad at the base and of good shape. Large lustrous yellow chartreuse eyes are of very good shape and set wide apart to give typical Burmese expression. Very slight curve to brow, very good break, straight nose and level chin of fairly good depth. Coat is fine and of medium length, close lying and with a very good satiny texture for a working boy, in super condition with a glossy shine. Warm rich rather dark milk chocolate is even in tone overall although a little pale towards the roots; just slightly lighter and uneven in tone up the tail. Tail tapers evenly to “paintbrush” tip and is a fraction short to balance. Shy boy, quiet and slightly apprehensive out on the table, more relaxed and very sweet natured in his pen. I forgave him the slightly uneven coat colour because of the time of year and variable weather; he has a super Burmese expression!

Head shows medium wedge with good breadth to slightly pointed muzzle and high cheek-bones, long curled whiskers. Fairly large ears are broad at the base and cupped, however it was difficult to get her to hold them high enough on her head and she persisted in holding them just a little too low and slightly flared. Large lustrous oval eyes are of very good shape and set wide apart under straight brows. Flat skull curves forward at brow, slight dip in profile line to nose, chin is just level and needs more depth. Well covered with fine silky coat, quite dense overall with gentle curl to hairs giving regular shallow waves on sides and flanks which can just about be felt, broad strip of straight hairs along back, ripples across shoulders, shallow ripples down legs, rexing on head and chest and well covered tummy; loose waves along tail. Tail tapers evenly to fine end and is short to balance. Very relaxed and sweet natured with a soft purr.
