A Seal Point Birman Prince Poses in His Finest Blue Sash
Prince Aurelio gazes out of the painting with calm, sky-blue eyes. The seal point Birman wears a deep blue military coat decorated with gold embroidery, heavy gold epaulettes and a bright blue sash crossing his chest, while a lace cravat peeks out at the throat. His cream fur, dark face and fluffy white ruff are painted in soft brushstrokes against a dark curtain and a stone column. The canvas has fine cracks, like an old masterpiece, and the light falls on his noble face as if he had just been announced.
Birman cats are known as the sacred cats of Burma in legend, and they are beautiful, gentle and affectionate. They have semi-long silky coats, blue eyes, dark points on the face, ears, legs and tail, and distinctive white gloves on the paws. Their coats are less prone to matting than some other long-haired cats, but regular brushing a few times per week keeps them smooth. Birmans are sociable and calm, and they enjoy company and quiet play. They do best in homes where someone is around, and they often get along with other pets. Kittens are born white, and their points develop as they grow. If you have a Birman or any cat that loves attention, a routine of gentle play and grooming keeps them happy. Your vet can tell you about diet and care.
A prince like Aurelio looks born to be painted. He has the poise of royalty and the heart of a lap cat.
