Overview:
The Fluffy Birman is a beautiful longhaired cat with a unique history that has been traced back to ancient times. They are recognized by their pure white paws, which have earned them the nickname “the gloves” or “muttonshanks.” Their eyes are blue, and they often have a light colored blaze on their face. Birmans are known for being affectionate and social companions who enjoy spending time with their human family. They do well with children and other pets if introduced properly. This breed requires regular grooming due to its long hair, especially around the feet where tangles can form easily. With proper care, the Fluffy Birman makes an excellent addition to any loving home.
