Birman - also called the "Sacred Cat of Burma", is
a domestic cat breed. The Birman is a long-haired, colorpointed cat
distinguished by a silky coat, deep blue eyes and contrasting white
"gloves" on each paw.
The breed name is derived from Birmanie, the French form of
Burma. The Birman breed was first recognized in France by the Cat Club de
France in 1925, then in England by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy
(GCCF) in 1966 and in United States by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) in
1967. It is also recognized by the Canadian Cat Association (CCA), and by The
International Cat Association (TICA) in 1979.
