Birman

History  

Centuries ago, people in Burma to make the Khmer temple of Lao-Tsun as a place to worship the goddess with sapphire blue eyes named Tsun-Kyan-KSE. A priest named Mun-ha, often knelt in meditation before the golden statue of the goddess with a white cat named Sinh. At one point when the robbers attacked the temple and Mun-Ha was killed as a result.
After Mun-Ha died were killed, Sinh put his foot on the body of his master and faced the statue of the goddess Tsun-Kyan-KSE. Then his white fur changed color to gold and yellow eyes turn blue like the eyes of the goddess Tsun-Kyan-KSE. Color changed to brown all four feet of land. But the claws are placed on the body of his master remain white, symbolizing purity.
The next day, hundreds of cats who live at the temple also has the same color as the Sinh. Sinh never leave the shrine until his death seven days later. Then the soul master Sinh bring spirits to heaven. Since then the temple if there is a cat to death, spirits are believed to have a priest who accompanied the ghost cat in the journey of the afterlife. At this point the legend ends and history begins.
In 1919, two French nationals, Auguste Pavie and Gordon Russell, came to the temple to help the priests in the temple. As a token of thanks, the pastor sent a pair of Birman cats. Unfortunately, male cats die on the trip, but apparently a female cat is pregnant.
Birman race early, at around the year 1925, derived from a pair of cats named Orloff and Xenia de Kaabaa. Ras was deteriorated due to the recession and world war two. Only one pair of cats that had survived through these hard times. Ras Birman was recognized in Great Britain in 1966. New in the next year the American admitted the race, when the CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) recognizes the standardization of races.
