Birman

The Birman, a large, pensive, silky haired cat with white gloved paws loves company. To look and feel it's best when socializing it should be kept in proper condition. Essential fatty acids are a must, along with sufficient vitamin E in the diet to utilize them. If you're not providing a high protein, high fat alternative premium cat food, supplement meals with 1/4 teaspoon bacon grease or, preferably a balanced fatty acid supplement with zinc or my Daily Nutritional Supplement. I'd also recommend adding bee pollen. The bee pollen will supply the additional micronutrients these gentle giants need. A premium cat food diet that promotes steady, firm growth from kitten hood will keep your Birman cat muscular, instead of fat, and sleek for life. Don't forget hairball medicine!
