Birmans are another color-pointed cat like Siamese and Ragdoll. They have blue eyes and a medium-length coat but no undercoat, the primary feature that distinguishes them from Persians and Himalayans. Birmans were the original stock for breeding ragdolls, so they look very similar, but have slightly different markings and personalities. They are fun-loving, social cats who love attention — from their chosen one. They are more of a one-person cat than others.
