The only fact you need to know if you're considering getting a Birman. 1. Get a Birman you won't regret it.

[lookbothways]

you just stated all the reasons for why I want a Birman cat. My family is quiet and so am I. Having a quiet, non-destructive cat companion would be great

You don't seem to know too much about birman we have owned them for the last 25 years. For starters they have single coat that they are quite capable of looking after. Unlike a percian cat that needs grooming all the time

[CKArts]

You have absolutely convinced me that I want a Birman!!!!

You just told me why I should get a Birman cat

My neighbour had one of these, I used to go round and feed and pet it when they went away. The thing was, it was so affectionate that when I tried to leave, it would hold onto my leg and nip my flesh. They just love company, very clever and it had the softest fur.

I'm a private tutor, and one of the families I go to has a birman, and he's the chillest cat I've ever seen. The kids would pick him up, put him in the drawer, in the cupboard, put him on their laps, and he wasn't at all bothered! 😂 I actually think he made their other cat, which was really skittish, more relaxed around me.

Also, when he was a kitten, his whiskers were longer than his whole body! 🥰

A man adopted a Birman cat and lived happily ever after... Oh wait, thats me. My Jinxy girl is an amazing animal. A Birman's loyalty is 2nd to none. She is very playful, follows me everywhere around the house, loves my young grandchildren and is just a great no issue cat. Her blue eyes, super soft fur, and white paws are so beautiful while her general disposition is so loving. I would highly recommend one.

That's wrong: they have only a one layer coat and no undercoat.

I have a rescued Birman. She's absolutely the sweetest kitty-cat. She lost her original human and mourned for quite some time. However, she's finally pulled around and loves to be held, brushed, played with. Not a lap cat but loves hanging around with us. LOVES attention. Some of the cats on this video aren't even Birmans and whoever heard of a "Beerman"?

[Princess_zisaya]

no, this is wrong. i have a birman cat and whenever i’m sad she always comforts me and helps me feel better when i’m sad. yes in her kitten phase she is a bit naughty, but besides that she’s the sweetest cat ever. she could definitely be a therapy cat or something. she definitely acts like a wild cat and she loves to play. she’s not very boring, she’s active and loves to play. i’m sure if she could go outside without running away she’d be very active (which, she already is but she’d be more if so.) she doesn’t only want attention, she never even asks for it.

Once you’ve owned a Birman. You will never wish to have another breed. They are beautiful both inside and out and, my goodness, they will love you.

This cat is legit the exact same as me (I literally also brush my hair once a week) THANKS, NOW I WANT ONE EVEN MORE

[denisev.]

I grew up with a Birman named Cooper, and now have a 2 year old Birman named Sammy. Almost all of this is not true. Let me tell you why...

1. TOO LAID BACK. Not true. Birmans are calm but they still love to play and have fun! Not at all boring. They're also very interested in their person that they love to follow them and just hangout if that's what you want. Otherwise they love their play.

Cooper would sometimes playfully
wrap his paws around my legs when I would go up stairs and loved to play "peek a boo" to where I would peek out while looking at him and quickly hide and then he would fake a cat attack where he eventually came running at me (it was the cutest thing!)... Sammy loves to play with a wand cat toy that has a bell - that he sometimes won't let go of when he catches it.

2. NOT AN OUTSIDE CAT. Whether Birman Cats like to go outside or not I don't know. Cats are safer indoors anyway. Indoor cats don't need to be bathed as much (just once or twice a year) and they won't get fleas, ticks, or bring in outdoor allergens... I let Cooper go out 2-3 times on our balcony and he climbed down a tree and could have gotten lost so I decided not to let him outdoors anymore after that.

3. GROOMING MORE THAN OTHER CATS. False. Grooming a Birman cat is not that big of a deal. In fact, you groom them less often because they have an undercoat so they don't shed as much as other cats. I haven't been grooming my cats that often though I'm starting to a little more because Sammy absolutely loves being groomed. It's one of his favorite bonding times.

4. THEY LOVE ATTENTION. This is true because Birmans are known to be one of the most affectionate, loving and loyal cat breeds that there are. In my opinion they are the #1 most loyal cat breeds. But they are not at all demanding of your time. They are not the kind of cat to bother you for attention.

5. PRONE TO KIDNEY PROBLEMS. Not sure... I've never heard of Birman cats being prone to Kidney problems. Cooper never had kidney issues and Sammy doesn't. But I have heard of Birmans being healthy cat breeds.

6. ENJOY A RELAXED HOME. Not true... Birman cats are known to be good cats with other pets and children. Birman cats, like any cat, may prefer a calmer environment but mine didn't/don't. I would say it depends on the cat but most probably don't care.

7. INDEPENDENT AT TIMES. Not true... They're not often independent when you're home. They will usually even adjust their sleep schedule so that they sleep when you're at work and awake when you're home so they can greet you and have bonding time with you. They also enjoy meeting new people and will be friendly to family and friends and even guests.

Birmans are perfect cats. Definitely good for the majority of people..

Our Birman loved to walk on a leash outside every day.

[jordanvalencia]

A couple of things.
1. Too Laid Back, not always, one of mine has his zoom moments.
2. Not an outside cat, have you watched Cats 101, a guys Birman loves to go outside in the garden and climb trees, freaking their owner out. Mine loves their Catio.
3. More Grooming than other Cats, have you met the Persian and the Angora, they require brushing on a DAILY BASIS! Once a week brushing, I find it Therapudic, kitty purrs loud during the brush, also loves the hair dryer as well.
4. They Love attention, as does any other cat that really likes you.
5. Kidney problems? I'm a member of a Birman Group, very few talk about kidney problems, hairball, yes, loose stool yes, but UTI or Kidney problems, hardly, you must've gotten a "Peanut"
6. I know that my friends birman, Teddy, LOVES being around kids, and cuddles them, another friend of mine gets along fine with a couple of Bengals, and chase each other around the house.
7. Not really, Birmans are very social cats, it doesn't like being lonely, if you have another animal pet, it'll be the Birman's BFF be it a dog, another breed of cat, a rabbit or even a fish.

You've made the case why you SHOULD get a Birman cat. Best cat breed hands down.
