From Shelley, Buffalo, NY
This is Ramses, he is about 5 years old and a
purebred Birman kitty!
Coat Type, Color & Grooming
The Birman has what we think
of as typical Siamese coloring -- a cream
colored coat with "points" of
darker color on the face, ears, feet, and
tail. However, Birmans differ from Siamese
in that they have white "socks"
on all four feet. Point colors are seal,
chocolate, blue, and lilac. The nose and
paw pads are pink.
Physical
Attributes
Medium to large in size; sturdy, stocky,
long body; broad, rounded head with
prominent nose and round eyes; long, silky
coat that may be slightly curly on
stomach.
