The Asian Cat
Asian Cat Breed History
The origins of the asian cat go back to a "blissful mistake" in 1981 between a Burmese and a Chinchilla. The asian are now a large group of cat breeds which include the Burmilla, the Asian Smoke, the Asian Tabbies, the Asian Self and Tortie, plus the Bombay and the semi-longhaired Tiffanie.
Asian Cat Breed Behaviour
One of the few breeds which actually state in the breed standard they must be of good temperament.
Much like the Burmese, the Asians are extremely affectionate and friendly cats. They are very outgoing and inquisitive although slightly less rambunctious than the burmese.
