What is the difference between a Burmese & a Birman?
The Burmese & the Birman are 2 distinctly different breeds & there are several major differences between these 2 breeds. The Burmese is a shorthaired “self-coloured” cat usually of one colour only with the exception of the 4 Tortie or tortoisehell colours while the Birman is a “pointed” cat, similar in colouring to Siamese or Colourpoint Shorthairs. They also have longer coats & are referred as “medium haired” breed.
