You'd be lucky to find a purebred Burmese kitten for sale under $300 -- a lower price than that is an instant red flag. You can check the classifieds in your local newspaper every week under cats, but it's best to look in a magazine like Cat Fancy for a listing of breeders. No matter where you find the add, always make sure you can visit the cattery and talk to the breeders, ask lots of questions, and examine the cats personally. Make a point of meeting the dame, and the sire if you can, since their temperaments are good indicators of how the kittens will grow up to be.

How can I find out if my cat is a male or female?
If your cat is intact (not spayed/neutered) and very young, it may be difficult to tell. However, if you feel around the genital area, below the anus, a male cat will have two lumps indicating testes. A female will not have testicles and instead had a vaginal opening that can be seen a short distance below the anus. In an older intact cat the testicles will be more pronounced and easy to see. A female's vagina will also be darker and more pronounced.
In an altered cat, a male will not have testicles, but will also lack a vagina. A spayed female cat will still have a vagina.
If you are still confused on how to tell the gender of your cat, I'm sure if you ask a breeder or veterinarian they will be able to quickly tell.
Here's also a link with more detail (and pictures) to help you determine the sex of your cat. http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ClientED/kittengender.aspx

The Domestic Cat, or its scientific name, Felius Catus, is a small predatory carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is valued by people as gets rid of pests such as mice, rats, and other vermin. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, being first domesticated due to it's skill in killing pest animals.
Like all cats, the domestic cat is a very skilled and active hunter. It is known to hunt and eat a wide variety of species for food. The cat is perfectly adapted for hunting and catching prey; their short but powerful legs allow for great bursts of speed when chasing prey, and are quite skilled in climbing and jumping. Retractable claws also aid in such activities. Their long tails help balance and in a more domestic setting, allow a human owner to read the cat's mood.
Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, such as meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.
Individual cats have also learned to operate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Some cats can be trained to obey simple commands.

Until recently, the cat was most likely to have been domesticated from Ancient Egypt, where is was a cult animal. But a 2007 study found that the lines on all house cats probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats (Felius silvestris lybica) circa 8,000 BC, in the Near East.
A cat is any animal of the family Felidae, or, more generally, the domesticated subspecies of the animal, which has been kept as a house pet for centuries. Cats were probably first kept because they ate mice, and this is still their main 'job' in farms throughout the world. Later they were kept because they are friendly and good companions. Cats use many different sounds for communication, including meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking and grunting.

Why do your cats eyes reflect 2 different colors in pictures?
The color of eyes is determined by the amount of melanin in them. If one eye happens to have more or less than the other eye, the eyes can appear as different colors from each other. The White-Spotted gene in some cats is what causes the difference in melanin amounts of their two eyes.
The scientific name for them is 'vibrissae', or 'vibrissa' for just one whisker.
