Birman Breed guide
Quiet. Look into my deep blue eyes. Can't you see the universe? I'm not just an ordinary cat. Born in a sacred temple, the white gloves on my paws are a symbol of purity. I can see right through your heart. When you're sad, when you're happy, I know it all without you saying a word. Quietly approaching and staying by your side, that is my role. I detest noise. Please do not disturb my peaceful meditation.
Detailed description
The Birman, also known as the 'Sacred Cat of Burma,' is a beautiful breed with a colorpoint coat, deep blue eyes, and four pure white paws, called 'gloves.' Legend says they acquired their distinctive look in a Burmese temple. Like the INFJ type, they are gentle, quiet, and affectionate companions. They are very people-oriented and form strong, loyal bonds with their families. They are more playful and active than a Persian but more laid-back than a Siamese. They are intelligent and curious, but not overly demanding. Their silky, medium-length coat is less prone to matting than a Persian's but still requires regular grooming.
