I've just heard & checked out something called a burmilla cat, a cross between a Burmese cat & a chinchilla!?

As cats are felines and chinchillas are rodents, however can this happen?

    Chinchilla Persians have a distinct coat coloration. They are born very dark with tabby stripes that fade. The adult cat is silvery white but the hairs are banded with color. The chinchilla coloration is similar to the rodent's hence the name.

    The Tiffanie is one breed that was the result of a Chinchilla Persian crossed with a Lilac Burmese. The breed is long haired with Burmese conformation.

    The Burmilla has the shorter silvery coat.

    I would answer similar to JC except to say Burmese actually have gold eyes. . He's a seal point who has darkened with time. Without papers it is impossible to say for sure but he may be a Siamese mix. Or could even be a Siamese of the older style. In which case he will have a single coat (no undercoat) and probably a very distinctive voice

    Chinchilla persian is a breed of feline that's why. No rodents involved.

    No way. That would be like crossing a porcupine and a pheasant to grow your own fishing flies.

    You are very, very gullible.
