Short description
The Birman cat is a very curious and attached cat. She loves quiet environments, but can occupy quite a lot of her owner's time because she does not like to be left alone and is very attached to her owner. She is a friendly and playful family-cat. Keep in mind that she needs a lot of peace and quiet, give her enough places for retreat, especially if you have small children.
