About This Breed
The Chantilly-Tiffany is a semi-longhaired breed that originated in the United States in the late 1960s. Originally thought to be a longhaired Burmese, this breed has silky, flowing fur with no undercoat, making grooming relatively easy. The most iconic coat color is rich chocolate brown, though other colors have been developed. Chantilly-Tiffanys are devoted companions that often bond strongly with one particular person, following them around and conversing in soft, chirping voices.
Characteristics
Scores describe general breed tendencies, not an individual animal. A higher score means more of the named trait or need; it does not always mean better.

Health and lifespan
A lifespan range is not a prediction for an individual animal. Breed scores cannot diagnose illness or replace a veterinary assessment.
Offer places to climb, hide, scratch, and rest. Try different toys to see what your cat enjoys.
