History:
Australian Tiffanies, as the
name suggests, were developed in
Australia from the Burmilla
breeding program.
Burmillas originated from the
accidental mating of a
Chinchilla Persian and a Lilac
Burmese.
The progeny of this mating were
all short coated, that being the
dominant gene.
From the second generation
fluffies can appear.
In the UK, breeders mated the
fluffies (Long Haired Burmillas back to the Burmese and called
the resulting kittens,
Tiffanies. |
 |
|
In Australia breeders decided to
go the other way and mated the
Long Haired Burmillas back to
the Chinchilla Persian and
called these stunning kittens
Australian Tiffanies. |
|
Appearance
Australian Tiffanies inherit
their beautiful, darkly-lined
green eyes from the Chinchilla
Persian whereas the Burmese
genes give them their cheeky
inquisitive disposition.

 |
The coat is soft, silky and semi
long with a generously plumed
tail. The coat is low to medium
care with a brush and comb
through needed twice a week to
keep it in glorious condition.
Australian Tiffanies are a
medium sized cat and come in
Silver with Black, Blue, Brown,
Chocolate, Lilac and the rare
Caramel.
The colour can be
tipped, shaded or
smoke which refers
to the amount of
colour on the hair
shaft.
Tipping is on the
end of the coat and
is barely visible
from the distance,
shaded gives the
coat a "mantle" of
colour and smoke
gives the
|
|
appearance
of a solid coloured
cat but when the
coat is parted there
is silver at the
roots.
In 2003 Goldens were recognised
and are currently available in
shaded, we are now developing
tipped Goldens. |
|
Temperament
They are healthy, intelligent,
affectionate and playful and are
a delightful addition to the
family.
They are a people cat, like to
be part of the family and join
in with any activities,
particularly if it is an unusual
one.
