	Cats and Kittens Magazine Birman Breed Profile
		According to legend the Birman (Sacred Cat of Burma) was revered in its native land because people there believed that the souls of departed priests returned to their country's temples in the guise of pure-white Birman cats.
		The Birman's feet are categorically white, and the two categories into which that white is divided are known as gloves, which occur on all four feet, and laces, which are found only on the hind feet.
		Although Birmans are a placid, gentle race whose serenity rivals that of the Dalai Lama, they are as capable as the next cat of pulling the occasional caper -- wind surfing or spelunking for example.
