First came the Burmese, then the British Shorthair was added to give the full expression colours to the Australian Bombay. For years these cats were only bred in Black, a rather unhealthy situation, to only be able to keep one colour. Some years ago the breed Mandalay was approved and all the other colours, Chocolate, Blue and Lilac and now Red, Cream and Tortie are allowed.  A breed that is a Burmese in full colour and is exactly the same in every way you would expect. They are a strong minded cat, a fun loving and companionable sock stealing, bed snuggling shoulder riding, absolutely fabulous feline. We can produce litters which contain a rainbow of colours, from Black all the way down to Lilac, however our most usual colours are Black, Burmese Brown, Mandalay Chocolate and Burmese Chocolate with Black being the colour we see the least of.  A potted history of the Mandalay Breed in Australia and New Zealand can be found here.
