BirmanThe Birman is a Point Color Cat, the color resembles that of the Siamese on face, ears, legs and tail. In addition they have white feet. The ideal Birman is a large (about 8-14 lbs as an adult), long stocky semi- long hair cat, which require very little maintenance. A Birman should be aggressively friendly, seeking out attention (and a real pest about it too sometimes).
They are great companions, and their silky hair does not require regular brushing (which they love) as their coat does not mat! The color of the coat is light, preferably with a golden cast, as if misted with gold. The "points" - face, legs and tail - are darker, color patterns of Seal, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac point, along with Lynx points and Tortie, Red and Cream points. The almost round eyes are blue (the deeper blue the better), set in a strong face with heavy jaws, full chin and Roman nose (bends down in the middle often has a bump to it at that point) with nostrils set low. The very distinctive white feet are ideally symmetrical. The gloves on the front feet, if perfect, go across in an even line, and on the back feet end in a point up the back of the leg, called laces. It is difficult to breed a cat with perfect white gloves. Males tend to be larger than females but there is very little difference in personality.
Birman Kittens are born with a white coat and develop their point color as they grow. At the point they are ready for their new home the kitten will not have fully developed their color but you will have a good idea how it will look.
