Tiffanie
About This Breed
The Tiffanie is the semi-longhaired member of the Asian cat group, developed in the United Kingdom. It resulted from a cross between a Chinchilla Persian and a Burmese, producing a cat with the elegant look of the Burmese in a longer coat. Tiffanies have a silky, fine coat that requires moderate grooming. They are affectionate, people-oriented cats with a gentle, calm demeanor that makes them ideal indoor companions.
