The Burmese is a breed of domesticated cats split into two subgroups: the American Burmese and the British Burmese. The Burmese was first recognized as a distinct breed in America in 1936 by the Cat Fanciers' Association. Owing to the extensive breeding with Siamese cats that had been used to increase the population, the original type was overwhelmed and registration was temporarily dissolved during the 1940s.

Burmese, a black mare born in 1962, was given to Queen Elizabeth II by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and ridden by Her Majesty for Trooping the Colour for eighteen consecutive years from 1969 to 1986.
