Birman Cats. It is a well-known fact that owning an attractive Birman cat is exchanged for her white, snow-like fur that falls from time to time. The hair, though medium-length, is rather more striking because of its white or light-colored nature. It’s like, although our naturally shedding hair is found all around the house, it will still be stolen by those cat or dog hairs that steal the spotlight.
The Birman is not really considered a large cat. Of course, it is possible to reach a weight of 10kg or more, but after all, it is still a minority and usually weighs around 6kg. For those of us who have actually been around Birman cats, we would say that this is just the right size for the body type. Cloud of people cat breeders may find certain breeds very beautiful, but often overlook the size of the cat. In fact, the type of cat you have really depends on the person. Some people feel that big cats are too much to hold and small cats hide and can’t be found. Personally, I tend to favor Birman cats between 4-8kg, which are solid to hold and not too heavy.
Let’s talk about the character of Birman cats. When it comes to docile cats, the first thing that comes to mind is the Ragdoll cat. But the truth is that many breeds of cats have good temperaments, and a wonderful personality is not just an exclusive attribute of Ragdoll cats. Our Birman cat is one of the best. In contrast to its mysterious legend of being born in a Burmese temple, the real-life Birman cat has a real personality, loves to interact with people and is curious.
The Birman cat is a clingy breed. When I am at home, she will always follow me around, occasionally rubbing her fluffy tail against my pant leg, and when she is tired, she will choose to sit or lie down within 15cm of me. Of course, some Birman cats will also express their needs and are very curious. Moreover, Birman cats pay a lot of attention to their owners and are always happy to participate in their owner’s life. If there is enough tacit understanding and intimacy between the owner and the Birman cat, she will become very clingy, just like the familiar heeler.
Overall, owning a Birman cat is a great experience. Highly interactive, she will never make you feel she is cold, but will instead give you a strong sense of belonging and being needed. To use a popular phrase, it’s a “strong sense of happiness”.
