Temperament
The Birman is best summed up as sweet, serene, velcro-gentle. Expect a cat that's right in the middle of everything you do, mostly in comfortable silence. Chaos rating 2/5 means the zoomies visit politely and leave.
Care Notes
Grooming: Light effort. A weekly once-over plus nail trims covers it. Exercise: with low energy, plan a couple of short play sessions and a sunny perch. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
