The 'Sacred Cat of Burma', the Birman pairs striking blue eyes and white-gloved paws with one of the gentlest temperaments in catdom. Sweet, soft-voiced, and people-loving, it follows you affectionately but isn't pushy. It gets along beautifully with children, dogs, and other cats. The silky single coat resists matting and needs only modest grooming, making it an easygoing family cat.
