Birman Cat Breed Profile

   

   

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.

From Kandice Schucker
Buying a Birman was the best decision of my life. They are warm, affectionate cats who love their human companions. Not to mention their beauty. If you want a cat who will NOT be independent, this is the cat for you.
