Oh my, he is just as gorgeous as in his Petfinder pictures!

If you google birman and look at the Cat Fancy breed standard, they are fluffy. BUT your little guy is a Birman MIX, it said that on Petfinder. So he is mixed with something that is short hair and that is what he has, the short hair, with the Birman coloring and look.

It could take as much as 6 weeks for the transition. but the dog has already learned not to get too chummy, ha ha.

What a lucky fella he is! I am sure you will come up with a regal name deserving of such a sacred cat. Best wishes with your new kitty!

He could still be a purebred Birman. Fluffy is not synonymous for longer hair.

Most of the pics and information I'm looking at is in my copy of Complete Encyclopedia of Cats (a book about domestic cat breeds). All of the Birman cats and kittens are soft or poofy or fluffy or whichever. All of them are medium or short haired.

At any rate, he's very cute!

It might take a while but remain vigilant. Bailey has been here for several months and is still not used to Spanky. My in laws cats have lived with dogs and birds for years but they still have a hiss fit when a peafowl or anything approaches them.

I'm glad to hear that you were able adopt him. He sure is adorable. I'm sure that in time all of your animals will learn how to get along. The purebred Birman's that I've seen at several cat shows have had long hair but since he's only a mix it looks like he'll have short hair. Good luck and enjoy.
