Summary
About Birman
The Birman is a medium‑large, semi‑longhaired pointed cat with deep blue eyes and distinctive white “gloves.” Its silky coat is easy to maintain. Affectionate and people‑focused, it is moderately active, gentle with children and pets, and thrives on regular company and interaction.
About Pixiebob
Pixiebob cats are medium‑large, muscular, bobtailed domestics with a spotted, bobcat‑like look. Often polydactyl and slow to mature, they are people‑oriented, dog‑like companions who enjoy games, harness walks, quiet chirpy “chats,” and regular but low‑maintenance grooming.
