Бурманская кошка

Кошка – одно из немногих животных, простое созерцание которого способно приносить огромное эстетическое наслаждение. Бурма обладает не только восхитительной внешностью, но и ярко выраженной индевидуальностью. Кто хоть раз видел бурму, не забудет ее никогда и при упоминании о ней сразу же представит себе крепкое, ладно сложенное животное, с потрясающей шелковистой шерсткой, играющей на солнце, и проникающим в самое сердце взглядом золотистых глаз. 
Красота бурманской кошки – «золотая середина», сочетание классической элегантности и строгости в одежде. В ней нет ничего «слишком». У нее не самый длинный хвост, и он не отсутствует, ее размеры не самые крупные и не мелкие, ее шерсть не самая длинная, но и не самая короткая.… Но все начнется с ее глаз. Пытливый, умный, уверенный взгляд ее медово-янтарных глаз коснется вашей души. Никогда вы не встретите бурму с пустым усталым взглядом, со злыми обиженными глазами и глуповато отсутствующим взором. Бесспорно, глаза –зеркало души этой кошки и дорога к вашему сердцу.


А кроме глаз вы увидите потрясающую шерсть, нежную и шелковистую. Такая текстура и качество шерсти присущи только бурме. На солнце при движении животного каждый волосок заиграет «особым бурманским блеском». Радость от первого прикосновения к ее мягкой, гладкой шерстки, под которой плотное, мускулистое и сильное тело невозможно забыть! Бурманская шерстка очень эффектна: полотно прилегает, прекрасно передает глубину цвета и не скрывает стройного, грациозного тела. Кроме того, уход за такой шерстью более чем прост: редкое мытье по мере необходимости, еженедельное расчесывание резиновой щеточкой и полировка замшей. Поскольку большинству бурм эта процедура нравится и привычна с детства, такие минуты «груминга» превращаются в мгновения приятного общения со своим любимцем. 
Интересная особенность бурманской кошки – вес. Его невозможно определить на глазок, особенно если это кот. А коты, как известно, обладают наиболее ярко выраженными породными качествами. Так вот, «бурманский вес» всегда будет для вас сюрпризом, потому как не определяется по размерам животного. 
Бурма всегда тяжелее, чем кажется. Американцы называют их – «кирпич, обернутый в шелк». 
А теперь о главном – о характере бурманских кошек, за что их любят во всем мире. Характер бурмы настолько сильно за ней закреплен, что даже при скрещивании с другими породами кошек потомство сохраняет бурманский нрав независимо от передачи внешних признаков породы. Бурму называют «кошка-собака» потому что больше всего на свете ей необходимо общество человека, а также других животных, будь то кошки или собаки. Бурму можно смело брать в уже сложившийся коллектив домашних питомцев, даже если это кошки в возрасте или крупные собаки. Бурма очень контактна и обожает завоевывать любовь окружающих. Она по натуре – завоеватель, любит завоевывать сердца и пространство, бурма не успокоится, пока своего не добьется. Это кошка-лидер, с очень сильной волей и энергетикой. Незамеченной она просто не может остаться, слишком уж яркая ее индивидуальность. И в этом нет ничего плохого, потому что, однажды «влюбив в себя», она никогда не разочарует и не предаст.

 

Наши коллеги из Германии и Новой Зеландии поделились с нами своей программой, по которой они вводили в бурму тикированные серебряные окрасы.



 

01/2007 NZCF S/H Standard of Points – Burmese

1

BREED CODE – BUR: BURMESE

GENERAL TYPE STANDARD

The Burmese is an elegant cat of medium foreign type, which is positive and quite individual to the breed. Any suggestion of either Siamese type or cobbiness of the British cat must be regarded as a fault.

HEAD:

The head should be slightly rounded on top, with good breadth between the ears, having wide cheek bones and tapering to a short blunt wedge. The jaw should be wide at the hinge and the chin firm; a muzzle pinch is a fault, the outer line of the ears continuing the shape of the upper part of the face. The head and ears give the impression of an equal-sided triangle. This may not be so apparent in mature males who can develop a fullness of cheek. In profile the head to show good depth between the top of the skull and the lower jaw. The brow to be slightly rounded. There should be a distinct nose break followed by a straight nose ending with the tip of the nose in the same vertical plane as the chin. The lower jaw to show a good depth of chin. EARS: Ears should be medium in size, set well apart on the skull, broad at the base, with slightly rounded tips. In profile, the ears should be seen to with a slight forward tilt. Allowance to be made for correctly shaped but over-large ears in a kitten, when the head size and shape are still developing.

EYE SET:

The eyes, which must be set well apart, should be large and lustrous, the top line of the eyes showing a straight oriental slant towards the nose, the lower line being round. Either round or slit eyes are a fault.

EYE:

Eyes should be any shade from yellow to amber, with golden yellow preferred. Eyes should have more yellow than green colour. Eye colour is sensitive to light intensity, should be assessed under identical light conditions moderately diffuse daylight for preference. Allowance made for developing colour in kittens and colour dilution in an older cat.

BODY:

The body should be of medium length and size (allowance to be made for larger size in males), feeling hard and muscular, and heavier than its appearance indicates. The chest should be strong and rounded in profile, the back straight from shoulders to rump. LEGS: Neck and legs should be slender and in proportion to the body. Hind legs slightly longer than front; paws neat and oval in shape

TAIL: The tail should be straight and of medium length, not heavy at base, and tapering only slightly to a rounded tip without bone defect. A whip tail or kink is not permissible.

COAT:

The coat should be short, fine, and satin-like in texture, lying close to the body. The glossy coat is a distinctive feature of Burmese and is indicative of good health.

CONDITION:

Should be well muscled, with good weight for size, carrying no fat, lively and alert, with a firm feel when handled.

COLOURS:

In all colours the under-parts will be slightly lighter than the back. A coat free from barring, or spotting, should be aimed for in all colours. Top awards should be withheld from mature cats (over 2 years of age) showing decided contrast between coat colour and points. The individual colour descriptions are for mature adults. Allowance should be made in kittens and adolescents for a lighter coat colour than the adult standard specifies. The presence of a few white hairs may be overlooked in an otherwise excellent cat, but a noticeable number of white hairs, or a white patch, is a serious fault. A light sprinkling of white hairs is allowed over the shoulder, where damage may result from injections, or from other cats, as for breeding queens.

SMOKE

A Non-Agouti cat with the 'silver' gene is a SMOKE.

The smoke effect is produced by a silvery undercoat combined with overhair that is tipped in colour with a silvery root. In repose these cats will appear as solid coated cats, in motion or on parting the hair of the coat, the white undercoat will show. There is great variation in the degree of 'smoking' in cats, and breeders should select for those with the greatest degree of silvery roots and undercoat. The undercoat of all smokes is slightly lighter than the roots of the shaded hairs. Trace markings on the tail, limbs and forehead are allowable but should be considered undesirable, and should not occur elsewhere. Scattered white hairs and rusty or other shadings should not be severely penalised in an otherwise good kitten.
