She comes to me every morning to groom my hair, she does it for five or ten minutes straight, I stopped putting hair products so she will be safe, not gonna lie I kinda like it but I am not a fan of having to wash my hair every day because of the itchiness she causes, and if I don't let her do it, she gets mad at me, and lays like this on the sofa.
Now Emmy gets a lion cut roughly every couple of years as she gets mats (we do brush her, she just makes a debate about it). Usually she gets gabapentin prior to sedation but because gabapentin doesn’t have any effect on her, it’s straight to sedation (first photo post sedation). Anyway here are some lovely photos of my old girl
Since I adopted a Birman cat around 8 months ago, I didn't really care what type of breed she was, till I started researching and learning about breeds and I learned the mine is Birman, but once I joined this sub I can see a lot of different Birmans, some are dark brown on the face and tail, or like mine very light brown, my question is do they have different origins? Behaviors? Or are they all the same?
My old moggy orange tabby passed and I'm looking for a new cat. I'm seeking a cat who's calm, friendly and affectionate, and apt to get along well with our chocolate lab who's very sweet and friendly.
Birmans are promoted as being sweet, calm, affectionate and relaxed around pets. The formal research ( _Mikkola et al. (2021), Reliability and Validity of Seven Feline Behavior and Personality Traits, Animals 11(7):1991_. _Salonen et al. (2019), Breed differences of heritable behaviour traits in cats, Scientific Reports 9:7949_ does **not**support these claims but the one Birman I've had in the past **was** calm, friendly and affectionate. What's the best way to maximize my chances of getting a cat with the personality I'm looking for?
