Verzorgingsgids

Birmans are sociable cats that enjoy company and do not like being left alone. Their semi-long coat is easier to maintain than it looks. Regular play and interaction keeps them happy and healthy.

Bewegingsbehoefte

Moderate play sessions suit Birmans well. They enjoy interactive toys and games but are not as demanding as more energetic breeds.

Vachtverzorging

Brush 2-3 times per week. Their silky coat lacks an undercoat, making it less prone to matting than other semi-longhaired breeds.
