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.

Often seeks company and attention. Allow time together and help it get used to short periods alone.

Coat care

Regular brushing helps remove loose hair and prevent tangles.

Some shedding is expected, and it may change with the season.

Living together

Often adjusts to changes fairly well, though a gradual introduction still helps.

Often gets along with children, but an adult should still supervise their time together.

Introduce other pets gradually and watch how each animal responds.

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.
