Can you describe the Burmese and Bombay personalities?
Burms and Boms are known to be calm, gregarious, confident, curious and extremely affectionate. They are very social and prefer to be with their people, either on their laps, shoulders or under the bed covers. They don't like to take "No" for an answer. Both are very playful, but I notice my Boms are a bit wilder at play than my Burms.

Probably. Burms tend to bond very strongly with their people. If they are left alone during the day, they will probably sleep most of the time and will be ready for action when you come home.

They are happiest when they have a companion, either human or animal.
