That's what I figured. Mitted Ragdolls look almost identical to Birmans, which is why some of the breed fanciers aren't liking them. I think there might be a difference in noses too, but its probably pretty subtle. I just knew Birmans weren't supposed to have any other pure white other than their paws, so that tipped me off that Riley wasn't a Birbaby like my two.

He's absolutely beautiful though!

Oh I didnt know that about birmans not having any other white on them? Have birmans been around longer than ragdolls?

I believe that the Ragdoll breed used Birmans in the beginning to outcross?
