Hi my name is Judy Cutt I live near Walsall, West Midlands and have been showing Birmans since 1996 and have been breeding for 8 years with my mother Pauline Cutt.

We both fell in love with this intelligent and loving breed and now show and breed a few litters a year.

 

Many centuries ago, by a sparkling lake, in a valley surrounded by majestic mountains, the temple of Lso-Tsun was guarded by 100 yellow-eyed cats with long, silken fur. The temple was the home of the sapphire-eyed, golden goddess Tsun-Kyan-Kse, who presides over transmigrating souls.

The high Kittah, Mun-ha, knelt daily for many hours in devotion before the goddess. His beloved and faithful companion the cat Sinh, was always by his side, and would gaze steadily at the glowing goddess.

One night as the moon rose above the holy temple, it happened that the aged Mun-ha entered into his final hour, with Sinh and Kittahs in solemn prayer watching over him. It was then that the Phoum, ancient enemies of the Kittahs, swept down from the mountains, intent on pillage and massacre.

At last the holy Mun-ha drew his final breathe. At that very moment Sinh leapt upon the fallen body of his beloved master and gazed into the eyes of the eternal statue of the goddess.

The fur of his white body became as the golden hue of the goddess, his eyes took on the sapphire blue of her holy gaze.   His face, legs and tail became the velvety brown of the earth, while his paws remained a pure white, up to the place the silk of his master's garments touched.

Sinh, refused to leave the body of his master, and after seven nights and days, he, too, quietly expired, carrying with him to the goddess, the soul of Mun-ha. The next day the silken fur of the remaining 99 guardian cats was transformed, even as Sinh. And thus was created "The Sacred Cat of Burma."
