Excellent photo, and superb specimen! But it'd be best to have a full-body photo. 00:39, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Yes, a full body shot would be good, especially one that highlighted the white gloved paws. Sergeant Snopake, 20:48, 26th of Febuary 2006.

There's a rather low resolution shot of Chalcedon Faramondo at [1] which I can make available. But I won't be offended if there's a better one!

There are lots of Birman cat clubs (six are listed at [2]) and for some reason several in the UK. Is there any reason behind the selection? Richard Pinch 22:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have upload a full body photo taken by myself of a Lilac Point Birman domestic cat breed by my Mother. Unfortunatly his mittens are not visable because of the grass. Martin Spamer 23:15 BST 23rd August 2006.

Birman Pets

A Birman as a pet, humm? Well, yes, but I am a Birman owner, so let me clue you in on some input. They are loyal, happy, funny, and playful, but mine LOVES to get attention, and anytime he wants attention, he MEOWS!!! They are usually white, and I love mine! (Even though he does meow!) And also, out of all the pictures I have of him, they're all pretty dark, and he's not very photogenic.

tone

needs some work on style and tone to bring up to encyclopedic standards Goldfinger820 00:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

== social aspects -- this article mainly focuses on physical attributes of the birman. can someone add a social behaviors section (i would, but i have no idea about these cats) maybe the above poster (BIRMAN PETS) could. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bananacheer725 (talk • contribs) 06:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too many pictures?

I think this page is a little excessive with pictures. Who else does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.80.205.55 (talk) 14:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC) i get the idea that the birman is (for most intents and purposes) genetically identical to the himalayan. birmans have white feet, while himalayans generally have brown feet. in either case, we are dealing with a siamese/persian mix. despite all the "romantic" stories about them, birmans appear to be a cross between the persian and the siamese (despite the fact that persians are not mentioned in the article). can someone give me a hard-and-fast delineation of the difference between the birman and himalayan? if not, then i would say that breeders are making a distinction that doesn't make much of a difference. (the similarity between the two breeds is just too striking to be a coincidence.)[reply]
