Birman

Birmans are the quiet achievers of the cat world — gentle, affectionate, and stunningly beautiful with their color-pointed coats and deep blue eyes. They're less demanding than Siamese but more social than Persians, hitting a sweet spot that makes them ideal companions. Birmans are known for their soft voices, their love of being held, and their distinctive white "gloves" on all four paws. Legend says they were sacred temple cats in Burma, and they still carry that regal calm.
