HOME BREEDERS KITTENS RETIRED SHOW CATS ABOUT BIRMANS TRIBUTE TO WILLOW TRIBUTE TO SKY PHOTO GALLERY JIGSAW PUZZLE EMAIL US

What are Birmans? The Birman is known as the Sacred Cat of Burma.  It was recognized in the United States by the Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) in 1967 and is becoming a very popular breed. The Birman is affectionate, playful, and generally outgoing.  These cats will want to be where ever their people are and expect love and attention.  The Birman has a semi-longhair coat, which is a single coat (no undercoat) that tends not to mat.  This is a pointed cat with white feet and white in the shape of a “V” that goes up the back of their legs, called laces.  They have beautiful blue eyes.  Adult females may weigh between 7 and 9 pounds, while the males may weigh between 9 and 11 pounds.  The breeders in the United States use the alphabet to name their cats.  This year, 2004, is the “B” year.  It makes it easy to know how old a cat is by the letter in the beginning of their name.  For example:  Voijer’s Xweet Cat-O-Mine was born in the “X” year and is four years old.  This year we have named one of our kittens Voijer’s Barefoot Sioux; she is not yet a year old.

We enjoy having babies and loving them as they grow.  They stay with us until they are 16 weeks old.  This gives the kittens time to be well socialized, to develop strong immune systems and to be immunized.  Our kittens come in a rainbow of colors:  seal, blue, chocolate, lilac in solid points, lynx points and tortie points.
