The birman cat is one of the most beautiful cats in the world. The coat is silky and shaded from white of Lilac and Fawn points through to the golden hue seen on Sealpoints. The almost round eyes are blue, set in a strong face with a full chin and a roman nose. 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 gauntlets. It is very difficult to breed a cat with four perfect white gloves!
The Birman personality is marvellous - gentle, inquisitive and playful. They are intelligent and form a strong bond with people. Birmans have a social nature that makes them great companions but if you work and the cat is home alone, consider getting another kitten as a friend.
