About the Burmese

The Burmese typically weighs 6–12 lbs as an adult and lives 16–18 years. Cats age uniformly across breeds, so this calculator applies the standard 15 + 9 + 4/year convention — what differs by breed is life expectancy and adult size.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate a Burmese's age in human years?

Cats age at a consistent rate regardless of breed: ~15 human years in year one, 24 by age two, then about 4 human years per cat year after that. Enter your Burmese's age above for the exact figure.

How long do Burmeses live?
