Birman cat (confirmed introduction)

Birman cats, some people also call them Bowman cats, Burmese cats Holy cats, etc. They are medium-sized cats with the Latin name Birman. Although they are now scattered all over the world, it is said that they only lived in Myanmar in the past and were raised by monks in temples. Because they had to protect the main temple, they were also considered to be temple-protecting cats.

After being introduced to Europe and finalized, the Birman cat was determined to be a fixed breed in China and the United Kingdom. Then they crossed the ocean and were recognized in the United States. Birman cats have body shapes similar to Persian and Himalayan cats, as well as the freckles of Siamese cats. They have healthy bones, broad and round heads, straight noses and plump faces; their cheeks and ears are V-shaped; their bodies are covered with long silvery-white hair, and the hair on their face, ears, legs, and tails are darker in color, and their four claws are white, such as It is common to wear empty gloves, so it is known as "trapping on the snow with four hooves".

There is also a beautiful legend about the coat color of Birman cats: hundreds of years ago, the Khmer people in Asia built a goddess temple to worship a golden goddess with a pair of sapphire blue eyes. . The devout builder Mum-Ha often kneels in front of the goddess statue and meditates quietly. His beautiful white cat Sinh who lives in the temple also sits beside him and pays attention to the goddess. On a dark night, bandits raided the ancient temple and killed Mum-Ha. After Mum-Ha died, Sinh rested its feet on its owner and turned its face towards the statue of the goddess. At this moment, its white fur turned into golden yellow, its yellow eyes turned into the sapphire blue of a goddess, and its four white legs also turned into the common brown color of the land - but it was resting on the owner's body. The feet are still bright and clean, marking purity. The next morning, more than a hundred white cats in the temple all had the same expression as Sinh. From then on, Sinh never left the altar, and after seven days, he also left the world, and entered heaven with his master's heart. Since then, whenever a cat dies in this temple, people say that the spirit of a priest has gone with it.

Because of this religious halo, Birman cats are full of wireless mystery. However, it may be more difficult to raise such a cat because this breed has not been introduced in China yet. , usually breeders bring back Birman cats from overseas, so if you encounter someone selling a Birman cat, be sure to ask about the origin of the cat, otherwise you will be easily fooled.
