Domestic cat (Felis catus)

The Burmilla (a portmanteau of Burm-ese and Chinch-illa ) is a breed of domestic cat, that originated in the United Kingdom in 1981. It is a cross between the Chinchilla Persian and Burmese cats. In certain cat registries the breed falls under the Asian group, and is sometimes referred to as the Asian Shaded.[1][2] Standards were produced in 1984, and the breed gained championship status in the United Kingdom in the 1990s.
