Chin full and well developed, slightly tapered but not receding. | | Ears | Medium in size and spaced well apart. | | Eyes | Almost round but not bold. Blue in colour; the deeper the blue the better. | | Body | Long and massive. | | Legs & Paws | Legs of medium length and thick-set. Paws short and strong. | | Tail | Bushy, medium in length and in proportion to the body. | | Coat & Condition | Coat long, silken in texture; full ruff around neck; slightly curled on the stomach. The cat should be well grown, the frame (skeleton) should be strong, well covered and muscular. Eyes bright and temperament good. | | Colour | The distinguishing colours of the Birman are those of the Siamese. Mask, ears, legs and tail dense and clearly defined (except in kittens). On reaching maturity, the mask covers the entire face including whisker pads and is connected to the ears by tracings. |
