Birmans are affectionate and faithful cats. Moderate in temperament, they are extraordinarily social and soft voiced. Males mature at varying ages with most ready to mate between 12 and 24 months. Females are very maternal, having average litters of three to five kittens. Birmans are a "slow developing" breed. Kittens are born completely white and although they begin to show point color anytime from two days to two weeks, it takes much longer for them to show their potential quality. By 18 months a Birman will have matured, but it may not attain full growth until its third year. |
