Burmilla Longhairs are medium-sized cats with muscular, elegant bodies. They are known for their sparkling silver coat and distinctive “make up” lining the nose, lips and eyes. Their heads are gently rounded with a short, blunt wedge shape. The eyes are large and luminous, in any shade of green. The Burmilla Longhair comes in two coat lengths, semi-longhair and shorthair, with the semi-longhair being the most common. The coat is soft, silky, and follows the lines of the body, with a large plumed tail.
