Let's learn a little more about the Birman cat.
Birman cats are most likely from Burma. Most researchers believe that is where they are from. They are thought to have been a sacred cat and a sacred companion to priests there. The other thing we know about the history of Birman cats is this. It is thought that in 1919 a pair of cats was shipped to France. It also is thought that a pair of cats was stolen, around the same time, and bred with a lynx, but nothing is certain. There is a lot of mystery and it is thought that the cats were almost completely wiped out during World War II and that only two survived and they are the reason that we have Birman cats today.
Birman cats are very distinct because they have certain characteristics that set them apart from other cats. They have paws that are usually white, and that are completely different from the color of the legs. The colors cannot blend or it is not a Birman cat.
If the colors blend, it is not a Birman cat.
Birman cats are usually very large. They are also long and look almost overweight. Cats that are large usually look like this but they actually have a bunch of muscles under their coat.
The color of the Birman cat coat is usually a lighter color with a hint of gold. The legend is that the Birman cats came from priests who were in the temple. Supposedly, the Birman cats changed to the color they are today when one of the priests was killed and a Birman cat jumped on the priest. The legend says that the cat's eyes turned to the color blue, like the color of the goddess's eyes whose temple it was, and that the paws turned white just where the cat touched the priest as he died.
Like many other cats, Birman cats have been bred to specifically reflect a certain quality. Birman cats have been bred to be very loving and companionable. They will become very loyal to their owners. They are also very smart cats and seem very interested in whatever is going on around them. Birman cats need lots of attention when they are little and need to be played with a lot as well.
Not a lot is known about Birman cats, but they are fun and playful cats to own. They are great for companions and will be a great adventure for you and your family. Remember to check out everything you can before you go out and buy a pet for your family, some breeds are not good at all for your children.
