Burmese

History  

Early 1930s, Dr. Joseph Thompson of San Francisco imported a dark brown female cat from Burma. Cat named Wong Mau. Because at that moment no cat with the same race, Wong wanted mated with a Siamese cat. Some kids want to have Wong siamese cat characteristics, this indicates that the Burmese cat Wong want is not pure, but the Tonkinese. Because if wong want is Burmese, all the kids with Siamese cats must tonkinese (mink pattern). Wong is known as a cat would tonkinese first.
 
After several generations, began to produce kittens with three different colors and stable properties. The cats were obtained by mating with mink mink-colored cat again.
