Why would anyone ever want to buy a pedigree cat? That is the question I always used to ask myself when I was younger - we had a succession of lovely moggies from a variety of places and they were fine so I could never see the purpose in buying a pedigree cat. Then one day I saw a Birman and thought they were quite beautiful but I still didn't think I would pay good money for one! What is a Birman? A Birman is a gorgeous semi long haired cat with a cream body and coloured 'points' (like a Siamese has). They have four white paws (or should have) and the most stunning blue eyes. Their temperament is gentle and loving and they will happily follow you ...  Read the complete review

Birman cats are said to have originated from Burma (hence the name!) where they were sacred and bred as a close companion for Kittah priests.

Legend has it that they were originally pure white but that, when the temple was attacked one night the temple cat leapt to assist his master.

The reason it's biast is because I have just recently got a Birman and he's just great! And the reason I decided to do an opinion on them was I just recently found out that Birman cats and Ragdoll cats are compatable with people who are starsign Cancer! I'm not really up on this sort of thing and don't usually bother with it but I am a Cancer and my cat is very compatable except when he is waking me up at 6am because he wants his breakfast! But I have found that they are quite dosile cats and very loving!! and I must say we have had a few laughs because eveytime he walks past if we stroke him to the end of his tail he collapses on the floor on his ...  Read the complete review
