Nicadaemus Birmans Garden Breeders of quality Birman Cats in North Wiltshire UK

Due to the increasing dangers a cat faces when outdoors, we do not allow our Birman's to free roam. However, when we moved to our current home in 2007 we realised that the garden would be suitable for allowing the Birman's outside because it is fully enclosed by a high wall. To further deter any adventurous Birman's we fixed curved hanging basket hooks to the top of the wall and tied strong netting to them, thus ensuring that even if a Birman did make it to the top of the wall it still wouldn’t be able to get out of the garden. The Birman's are now able to enjoy fresh air and, when we get any, sunshine without the worry of them coming to any harm. The following photos were taken in February 2009 during the bad snowfalls that the country suffered. We had more snow than I have seen in Wiltshire for a very long time, and the Birmans, most of whom were having their first experience of the white stuff, differed in their attitudes to it quite dramatically.

Elise did not like the snow one bit and after hiding under a bush for a while, she quickly headed back indoors.	Lady looking around in awe, she has never seen snow before.

Ruby tended to stick to the areas where people had already flattened the snow down a bit.	This photo of Sula was taken quite early in the morning while the snow was still falling.

Raasay enjoyed the snow and raced around the garden ... until he slipped up. Here he is in a quiter mood.	Pawprints left by Raasay.




In the course of our showing endevours, we sometimes go long distances, which would be impractical if we attempted to do all the driving and showing in one day. For these shows we take the caravan and make a weekend of it. The Birmans enjoy going out in the caravan as it has lots of little cupboards that need to be explored. All these photos are of our birmans on various trips that we have taken over the years.
