Do Birmans shed a lot?
Very little – what you’ve heard is true! Most cats have long guard hairs (the ones you pet) and very short and fine body hairs. The body hairs are the ones that float in the air and get in your nose. Birman grooming habits are such that they tend to pick a favorite place (or three) to groom themselves, and when they are done you will find a little twisted clump of hair on the floor.
