Our beautiful pedigree boy passed away over the weekend from cardiomyopathy. He only had his second birthday earlier in the month. 😢

I just wanted to share my first pet and buddy with the Birman world. He was 13.5 years old and passed away last week, quickly from cancer. He was an absolutely amazing cat all around from goofy, to cuddles, to love, to leisure, to play. This breed is amazing and I’m glad he was the one to show me that.

Brought to you by Churu. 700 photos later, we finally qualified for the medal round. 🤣

She is 14 weeks old and is such a sweet girl. We are so happy to have her in the family ❤️

This is Leela, my partner and I just adopted her at 3 months and she’s amazing! She’s playful, cuddly, curious, vocal, and adapted to our home really fast (including going on places she’s not supposed to, like the bookshelves) 🥰

Our boys like boxes so much these ones pretty much stay on this table permanently 🤣😻😻

I got this gorgeous boy named Leo back in May! And was always convinced he was a birman, but some people are making me question if he could be a ragdoll..? I need opinions!!

Still a kitten. Playing in a drawer wore her out so a birthday nap followed. Gizzy’s registered as a Lilac Point but she’s blue.💜💙

Hi everyone! I have had Birmans for over 16 years. Shanti (age 14.5 now) is a flame lynx. My sweet girl Savannah died in March at 16. She was my heart kitty and I still sleep with her favorite blanket. My heart breaks again every morning when I wake up and she is not lying on my pillow.

I have recently begun thinking of getting another kitty. Shanti is a character, and he doesn’t have the typical Birman temperament. He tends to be suspicious of … well, pretty much everything, until he becomes acclimated, which can take a while. We got our Finnish Lapphund back in 2020, and it has only been in the last couple of years that he hasn’t hissed at him at least once a week and Ukko just wants to be friends with him, like he was with Savannah. They really loved one another.

While Shanti wants to be with us constantly (follows us room to room throughout the day) he isn’t a cuddler. He will (very vocally) insist on attention, but then moves 2-3 ft away from you and makes you lean out to pet him. He won’t sit on your lap or lie on you. (I didn’t know as much about the breed way back then and I wonder why that is… one hypothesis is that he was given to us at 8 weeks, which I now know is really early for a Birman, so maybe that is it. Or maybe he is just “different”.)

I would love to have a cuddly cat or kitten, but am worried about stressing him out. Despite his curmudgeonly ways, I do love the little brat! 🤣 He is quite healthy: he was diagnosed with CKD almost 10 years ago, but through a low ash/low phosphorus diet his kidney functions are perfect. However, he isn’t a youngster, and I don’t want to impact his health by stressing him too much.

Would love to hear people’s opinions!

Honestly I can’t imagine my life without them. sending love to all the birmans (and other kitties) everywhere!

My two new fluff-balls! Wolfie the Birman and his sister Suzy the Temple cat (short haired Birman)

14 weeks old 🥺🥺

My babies just turned 11 and 12 this week 😭
