Sacred Burma cat

Sacred Burma is a color-point semi-longhaired cat breed, which, according to one of the legends, originates from Burma. The Burmese cat is recognizable due to its unusual color, which is called the Burmese color by the name of the breed.
In Burma, there are several legends telling about the appearance of an unusual color in local cats. The most widespread of these legends tells that originally one of the Buddhist temples was guarded by white long-haired cats with yellow eyes. The temple housed a golden statue of a goddess with sapphire blue eyes. The oldest monk in the temple, named Moon Ha, had a beautiful cat named Sinh. Once the temple was attacked by robbers who intended to steal a golden statue of the goddess. While protecting the goddess, Moon Ha was mortally wounded and died from his wounds at the goddess's feet. It seemed that the defenders of the temple were defeated. But suddenly a strange cry stopped everyone around. Singh stood on the head of his master, and a magical change happened to him. His fur turned golden, his eyes acquired the sky-blue color of the eyes of the goddess, and the tips of his paws, immersed in the monk's white hair, became white like his holy gray hair. Obeying the gaze of Sinh's sapphire eyes, the monks found strength and drove away the robbers. The faithful cat remained motionless on the master's head for seven days, after which he died, taking Moon Ha's soul to paradise. Over time, all the cats in the temple also got the same color.
They are very calm, obedient and gentle cats with good manners. They are very smart and sociable. They give the owner their affection and love. They welcome their guests with great curiosity and absolutely without fear. Unlike some other more active breeds, cats of this breed often like to sit on their laps and on their arms. Despite being moderately active, Burmese cats are very lively and playful. Burma can be quiet and calm when you are busy, but active and playful when you have the opportunity to play with it. Although these cats are not particularly talkative, they have a soothing meow similar to deep cooing.
