The Birman cat is also known as the Burmese sacred cat. Legend has it that it was first raised by monks in ancient Burmese temples and was regarded as a temple guardian cat. It was introduced to Europe in the 18th century and gradually evolved and finalized.
According to modern history, a pair of Birman cats were first transported from Burma to France in 1919. During the transportation, the male cat died, leaving only the female cat and her kittens. Since then, the Birman cat has not continued to develop in Europe and was confirmed in France in 1925. But during World War II, there were only two Birman cats left in Europe. In order to save this endangered breed, breeders had to use crossbreeding to re-establish the breed. Since then, the registration of general Birman cats must have at least five generations of purebred bloodlines.
The Birman cat was confirmed by the UK in 1966, and the CFA recognized this breed in 1967.
