Informations générales

Birman cats have clearly defined white feet (“gloves”) as part of their breed standard. This characteristic gloving is caused by a variant in the KIT gene and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. A cat must have two copies of the mutation in order to have the gloved white feet. Besides the Birman cats, this genetic variant occurs in lower frequencies in other breeds without leading to the typical Birman gloving.

Caractéristiques cliniques

The main feature distinguishing this breed from the others is the presence of gloves: all paws have white fur on the feet. According to the Birman cat’s standard, the white colour should be symmetrical and have the same height.

Additional Information

Coat colour is an intricate trait that involves a combination of multiple different genes. Testing for a range of different loci will give the most complete prediction of a cat's coat colour genetics.
