Birmans were actually temple cats, originally worshipped (over 3500 yrs ago), then as humans priests took over and wanted to be worshipped, they were made temple guardians.
Birmans have similar (almost exact same) colours as siamese - we are skinny-ish, but have very very thick fluffy fur (it's a double fur - our undercoat is long too). The main colour difference is we have socks on our feet the same colour as our face cross (depends on if we're sealpoint/ bluepoint, lilacpoint).
We have a rich, deep, throaty PURRRRRR, and extreeeeemely loving natures.
We tend to talk in "Mrrrrr?" type sounds rather than "Meeoww!" (like siamese do, the complainers!!)
(This one, Casey, needs to be shaved each early summer - cost me $550 to have a stomach furball blockage removed last year - damn he looks funny with his skinny body and bif fluffy boofy head!!!
You can't laugh at him tho - he goes all shy and 'peculiar')
