Burmilla Cat Crown

Pobjoy Mint has released the 2008 cupro nickel Burmilla Cat crown. The design features a beautiful Burmilla Cat with her endearing kitten.

It was only in 1983 that the Burmilla Cat was recognised as an independent breed and was actually only bred through a chance mating between a Burmese and a Chinchilla in 1981.

The Burmilla is a gentle, intelligent and extremely affectionate cat with an exceptional temperament. The demanding and mischievous character of the Burmese mixed with the easy going, relaxed nature of the Chinchilla, gives the Burmilla its unique personality. Burmillas are very extroverted, social cats that love their humans, both adults and children. They also have a very confident, playful and inquisitive nature. The Burmilla will delight humans with their antics and games and most learn to fetch quite easily.
They also adjust well to other pet animals. This breed is a wonderful companion with irresistible qualities.

Please note that the image above is for illustration purposes and the 'ag' silver mark does not appear on this cupro-nickel version
