Birman Breeder Directory

More Breed Information

The legendary Birman takes your breath away with its stunning pointed, semi-longhaired coat and bewitching deep sapphire blue eyes. The silky coat is light in color and ideally misted with a golden hue. They have white gloves on all four feet and white laces up the back of their hindlegs contrasting with the main point color. These gentle cats have a stocky build and a powerful musculature-keep them in top condition by indulging their love for play!

Temperament

The Birman is a great family cat. It dwells peacefully within a single cat home or a home with many cat friends. With a constant response from his owner when the cat meows, the Birman will become quite a talker. If you prefer just the quietness of his purr, lack of response will discourage the cat from talking. With lots of love, good food, fond grooming, and proper health care, the Birman makes the greatest buddy, friend, confidant, and all around purrfect pet.

Health

The Birman is a medium to medium-large longhaired pointed cat with distinctive white gloves and laces. All four feet have white gloves and the back feet have laces extending about halfway up the back leg. Generally Traditional Birmans are not fussy eaters are healthy and live quite long lives. Some live 15 to 20 or more years. Since their coat is long, but not inclined to mat, a brief daily combing with a steel comb will keep the Traditional Birman looking its best.
