Hey Skiffle,
if you want a Birman look without the health problems, try a RagaMuffin in a Natural Mink color (like my Odin)...'Muffins are healthy as horses and built like them too. And they're ULTRA sweet.

RagaMuffins come in almost any color combo but you can get the pointed colors as well. And Muffins can also have the sepia gene which creates the mink or colored bodies rather than the pointed colors on a white body. That's like the Birmans.
