The Birman Legend

In a temple built on the sides of Mount Lugh, lived in prayer the very holy Kittah Mun-Ha, a great Lama holy of holies, the one of which the God, Song Hio himself, has braided his golden beard.

 

Not a minute, not a glance, not a thought of his life was not dedicated to the adoration, contemplation, and holy service of Tsun Kyan-Kse, the goddess with the sapphire eyes, the one who presided over the transmigration of souls, the one who permits the Kittahs to live again in a holy animal for the duration of its animal existence, before taking again a haloed body with the full and holy perfection of the great priests.

 

Near him was meditating Sinh, his dear oracle, an all-white cat whose eyes were yellow, yellow from the reflection of the golden whiskers of his master and from the golden body of the goddess with the heavenly eyes.....Sinh, the cat to advise, whose ears, nose, tail and extremities of his legs were dark like the colour of the earth, mark of the stain and impurity of all that touches or can touch the ground.

Characteristics
The Birman is a cat with a wonderful balance of many characteristics. Ranging from wonderful temperment to striking appearance. The Birman is a cat of balance - never too extreme in any direction.

Birmans have soft voices - when they do decide to talk, its usually to remind you that they are waiting for dinner or your attention.

Birmans are also well known for laying down and showing off their white paws!
