Brilliant blue eyes

The Birman is a creamy semi-longhaired cat with a contrasting colour on the face, ears, legs and tail. A striking feature of the cat is their brilliant sapphire blue eyes and dark mask. The feet are coloured white, giving the appearance of 'socks' on the feet.

The original Birman's coloured points were a very dark brown, known as seal. They now come in a large variety of colour points, including blue, red, cream, chocolate, lilac, tabby and tortoiseshell.

Beautiful coat

When I purchased my first birman, I was stunned by the bright blue eyes and pleased with the knot-free semi-long haired coat in smokey cream. However, the temperament was amazing!  

Our boy fitted in very quickly with the children, happy to pounce on cars as they whizzed along the race track or to play in makeshift indoor cubby houses. Reclining near the computer keyboard was another favourite spot.

Colours

The Birman is a most attractive cat, exceptional to look at and very photogenic. Over the last five years several new colours have become available in this breed. The red, torti (tortoise-shell) and tabby points are new and the lilac remains rare. Birman colours include Seal, Blue, Lilac, Red, Cream, Chocolate, Seal Torti (female only breed), Seal Tortie Tabby, Blue Tabby, Seal Tabby.

 

Temperament

Birmans are known for a cool but affectionate personality. They often appear docile and casual, and spend a lot of time lazing around the house. They form a bond with their owner and are not particularly vocal but will make their presence felt if they want attention.
