WELCOME

HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIRMANS IN CFA

Hello and welcome to our cattery. We obtained our first Birmans in the summer of 1997, they are such wonderful cats we decided to found Cynbir Birmans, located west of Dayton, Ohio. Please make yourself at home and explore our site. We will add information as we find things that we feel will interest you. We hope you find this site as wonderful as the cats themselves are !!!!

This is our foundation stud GRC, RW Dunnydeer Qusi if Cynbir. He was a beautiful blue point birman. We were very fortunate to have such a wonderful stud to start our cattery. Thank you Val Rhodes and Carla Richardson for sharing him with us.

Over the years we have moved forward in our program and have new Birman studs and queens. We are a small cattery that only produces a few litters per year. Our Birman cats and kittens are very much underfoot and part of our home. We put a great deal of time and effort into this hobby and have been very successful in both the showhall and in raising wonderful Birman pets to share with a select few homes. If you have any questions about our cats, kittens or Birmans in general please feel free to email me.

Birman Legend

The unusual coloring of the Birman is the subject of a charming legend. Centuries ago, the Khmer people of Asia built the Temple of Lao-Tsun in which to worship a golden goddess with sapphire-blue eyes, Tsun-Kyan-Kse. Mun-Ha, a much-loved priest, often knelt in meditation before the goddess with Sinh, a beautiful white temple cat, beside him gazing at the golden figure. One night raiders attacked the temple and Mun-Ha was killed. As Mun-Ha died, Sinh placed his feet upon his fallen master and faced the golden goddess. As he did so, the hairs of his white body turned golden, and his yellow eyes to sapphire-blue, like hers; his four white legs turned earthy brown - but where his paws rested gently on his dead master, they remained white as a symbol of purity. Next morning, the hundred white cats of the temple were as golden as Sinh, who did not leave the sacred throne until, seven days later, he died, and carried his master's soul into paradise. Since that time, whenever a sacred cat died in the Temple of Lao-Tsun, the soul of a priest was said to accompany it on its journey to the hereafter.
