The Burmese Cat Club

Affiliated to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy

Welcome to our web site!

We are saddened to announce the death yesterday (14th March 2012) of our President Mrs Margaret Somers. Margaret’s long involvement with the Burmese Cat Club is well known. She was passionate about welfare and a founder of our registered charity, The Burmese Cat Club Benevolent Fund. Margaret appeared at shows all over the country promoting the club and manning the club table. She was a lovely lady and we will all miss her.

The Burmese Cat Club was formed in 1955 and is one of the largest cat clubs in the UK with a national and international membership. We exist to safeguard the wellbeing and the purity of the breed, and to encourage a wider appreciation of the unique qualities of Burmese cats.

The history of the Burmese breed in the UK is described in detail in our publications.
