Balinese

Breed facts, pictures and detailed information on Balinese cats.

These cats are a long-haired version of the Siamese Cat. Some color forms are called Javanese Cats. The breed appeared in the USA in 1940s.
The elongated, angular body of the breed, its color pointed coat pattern and its vivid blue eyes are identical to those of the Siamese, the only difference being that the Balinese has a soft, silky, medium-long coat with a plumed tail.
Human say  Balinese are extrovert and lively throughout life, intelligent, eager, enthusiastic, active, athletic, acrobatic, expressive, regal, graceful, loyal, friendly, warm, curious and affectionate. Very noisy.
      Balinese are very delicate animals and don't take easily to new humans. They are very shy and ask for attention very quietly. Their main feature is the bright sky blue eyes. Their hair is silky and soft, they don't have a warm undercoat. The Balinese are much rarer than the Siamese and were considered a genetical mistake (as is the human way) until 1963.
Color forms: In the USA seal, chocolate, blue and lilac point are the only colors permitted. Other colors, such as red, tortie and lynx (tabby) point are referred to as Javanese. In the UK this separation is not made, all the colors being included in the breed.
