Known as the “Sacred Cats of Burma”, Birmans combine a regal appearance with a sweet and loving temperament.

They enjoy interacting with adults and children alike. This calm and sociable temperament makes them ideal life companions.

    The height of Birman reaches 20-25 centimeters, and the length ranges from 38-46 centimeters.

    Weight

    An adult Birman weighs from 4.5 to 5.4 kilograms. Birman’s weight varies according to genetics, diet, and health status.

    Lifespan

    Generally, Birman’s life span ranges from 13 to 15 years. However, remember, these indications are only tentative and your valued family member’s life expectancy depends both on their healthy lifestyle and stress-free living environment. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet will significantly improve the quality of life of your furry friend.

    Fur

    Birman fur features a fine silky texture. The fur on the body is lighter in color than the spots on the ears, face, paws, and tail. The length of the fur might make you think that the breed requires extensive care, but in reality, the Birman coat is easy to maintain and care for. The breed’s silky coat mainly requires daily brushing with a soft brush.
