Birman Cat Grooming — Tempe, AZ

Birmans are elegant, color-pointed cats with medium-long silky coats and distinctive white 'gloves' on their paws. Uniquely among long-haired breeds, they have no undercoat, which means less matting and shedding. Their coat is surprisingly easy to maintain.

Grooming Tips for Birmans

• ✓Weekly brushing is usually sufficient — no undercoat means less work
• ✓Their silky coat rarely mats but can tangle in friction areas
• ✓Sanitary trims are less critical than for double-coated breeds
• ✓Pay attention to the white paws — they show dirt easily
• ✓Most Birmans are gentle and cooperative during grooming
