About the Birman

The Birman is a medium cat breed originating in Burma (developed in France). Adult cats typically weigh 8 to 15 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. Typical traits: gentle, pointed, people-oriented, placid.

Family households wanting a calm, sociable long-haired cat. The silky coat has no woolly undercoat, so it mats far less than a Persian. Homes where the cat would be alone for long stretches. Birmans are quietly companionable and dislike isolation.

Adult Birmans need about 20 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 25 minutes. The coat is long-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 2 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
