To round off a varied diet, you can (and should) also offer your cats fresh meat 1-2 times a week, such as minced beef or frozen fish that you thaw and heat.
If you like, you can also feed chicks.
Yoghurt and quark round off your kitty's menu.
I am strictly against a one-sided diet, whether it's only BARF or only dry food!!
Combing about every 14 days is enough; during coat change (spring and autumn) comb about twice a week.
Please don't comb the tail.
As a supplement for a beautiful coat, there are biotin and taurine treats, e.g. at Fressnapf
Always before a vaccination, otherwise once a year
I recommend having the faeces tested for worm eggs before deworming
Recommended products: Panacur, Stronghold (for cats that are also allowed in the garden)
For giardia infection: Spartrix
I recommend Majescat: https://majescats.de/products/katzenstreu
If your cat may be ill, please call the breeder immediately: the breeder is your first point of contact, even before the vet!

Please be firm and consistent with your darling!!!
Birmans are very intelligent; if you as the owner aren't careful, you'll quickly become your cat's servant
NO, NO, NO !!!!!
Birmans in particular are considered fussy eaters in the cat community, but that is NOT TRUE!!! The only one to blame for fussy Birmans is the can opener
Cats are different from people (a person sits down in front of a full plate and eats it all). A cat is a nibbler. Covering up food is a genetically rooted behaviour that even wild cats in Africa show. Begging for food is often begging for attention. Your cat may not be hungry right now and begs anyway, then gets food, sniffs it and walks away, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like the food or doesn't want to eat it. She will eat it later!!
Since I keep reading on social media that Birmans get intestinal blockages, I have thought about how you as the can opener can prevent this.
Unfortunately, many cat owners are not aware of how important a role dietary fibre plays in their cat's nutrition.
It is not true that cats don't need fibre
Dietary fibre is made up of various carbohydrates that the cat cannot digest itself, but the gut needs them for intestinal peristalsis
Swellable plant fibres in the food make sure that moisture is retained in the food mass so it doesn't become too hard. The swelling of the plant fibres also increases the Volumevolume of the food mass, which stimulates the intestinal muscles to move the contents along.
If you feed only raw (BARF), or only high-quality wet food or high-quality complementary food, your cat's gut will lack important fibre for intestinal peristalsis
because meat contains 0.0 % fibre
Fibre is also often a prebiotic, and these prebiotics serve as food for the good gut bacteria
Here are some tips and links for the basic equipment for your future cat household
Food bowls
Litter box & litter
We recommend Majescat cat litter
Toys
Grooming
Health
You need Feliway if your cat feels anxious in its surroundings. Symbiopet is very good for cats with sensitive digestion; it contains good gut bacteria that regulate digestion. Our cats get Biotin Forte during their coat change
