- Get to know this particular type of cat. Burmese cats are wonderful pets and enjoy being in with the goings on of family life. This is not a cat that will sit quietly off alone. Make sure you will enjoy a cat that will want a lot of attention.
- Investigate the person who you will be buying the cat from. How cats are raised are very important factors to consider.
- Decide how old you would like your cat to be. This will narrow down your search list.
- Visit the home of the breeder or owner if at all possible. Look to see that any cats in the home look happy, alert and healthy.
- Check the particular cat you are interested in. Spend some time seeing how the cat interacts with others. Make sure that the eyes and nose are clear. Often sick cats will display a discharge from their eyes and differences with their noses.
- Ask about the disposition and personality of the Burmese cat you are looking at. It is a good sign if the owner knows the cat well and can give you details.
- Inquire about any health regulations and treatments. Most breeders will give the first shots but always ask. Inquire whether the cat has had medications for worms. Many kittens are born with them.
- Make sure you understand contracts and guarantees. Most reputable breeders ensure a cat’s health if you have an exam within a certain timeframe. Make sure that the cat has had time to be socialized by the mother cat.
