Personality & Temperament
Birmans are known for their sweet, gentle, and social nature. They are affectionate with their families, often following them from room to room, but are not overly demanding or vocal.
Grooming & Care Guide
Their semi-longhaired coat is silky and less prone to matting than other longhaired breeds, requiring brushing 2-3 times a week. They are indoor cats and appreciate a safe, stable environment.
