That is a poor quality phone pic of my Birman (http://www.cfa.org/breeds/profiles/birman.html), TAG (T'Cin's Always Gallant). He is what is called a Blue. I bought him originally as a show quality cat, but he got DQ'd (Disqualified) at his first show because of a flaw in his stocking neither the breeder nor I saw. She refunded the difference in show and pet price and now I have an exquisitely handsome and loving pet. They are called The Sacred Cat of Burma in Europe. Birman's are one of the foundation breeds of the more popular Ragdoll (http://www.cfa.org/breeds/profiles/ragdoll.html), and are sometimes confused with Himalayans (http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/articles/persian-himalayan.html), though I don't understand why, given the radical facial differences. I've probably told you far more than you want to know! Thanks for asking though--I love my boy, and I think the breed should be much more widely known than it is--they're beautiful, affectionate, and very calm kitties (and mine, at least, if a ferocious mouser!)
