Many Birman breeders follow the somewhat whimsical French tradition of assigning all kittens born in a particular year given names that begin with the same letter of the alphabet. Countries with breeders using this convention include France, UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand. Certain letters are skipped in some countries (France skips "W"). If you know the cat's country of origin, and whether the cat's breeder adheres to a country-standard or cattery-personalized naming convention, you may determine the approximate age of a Birman.
In the USA, for example, the entire alphabet has been run through once, ending with the letter "Z" in 2002, and beginning again with "A" in 2003. Kittens born in 2007 thus fall into the "E" year. The typical naming convention for a registered Birman in the USA is
"BreederCatteryName GivenName of OwnersCatteryName" up to a maximum of 35 letters and spaces (for CFA registered cats).

One of the worst things about looking after a cat, is the putrid smell of urine they can leave all over the house.
The problem is some cats completely ignore their litter boxes. They don’t even know it exists (despite your best efforts of showing them).
But it’s not just the smell that’s frustrating.
What about the time, effort and cost of having to clean it all up as well?
It can be a nightmare…
So what can you do?
Well, instead of getting rid of your cat…
I recommend you give “Cat Spraying No More” a try.
