Birman Cat Facts
By 
Although Birmans boast having longish coats that are silky to the touch, their hair does not tend to matt and as such they are low maintenance on the grooming front. A weekly brush all it takes to keep their coats in good condition and to remove any loose hair. Like other breeds, they tend to shed the most in the Spring and then again in the Autumn when more frequent brushing is usually necessary to keep on top of things.
It’s also important to check a cat’s ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax builds up, it can lead to a painful infection which can be hard to clear up. In short, prevention is often easier than cure with ear infections. Cats often suffer from ear mites which can be a real problem which is another reason why it’s so important to check their ears on a regular basis.
