Balinese Cat

Is the result of mutations of Siamese. In 1950 some Siamese kittens were born long haired. This fact called the attention of many people that some decided to raise long haired kittens and by relating them, they obtained a pure breed.

It is believed that they have a close bond with the Himalayan cats because their hair is long and they have the same spots, but actually it is a long haired Siamese.

This breed is still not well diffused around the world, but in the United States it is very popular, they have a very sweet character besides being very affectionate.

Characteristics
Only four varieties of colors are recognized: seal, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Their hair is soft, silky and doesn't need of too many attentions like other long haired breeds, which is a great advantage.

Medium size, slender but with strong, muscular muscles. The legs are long and fine boned, the rear ones taller than the front ones and with oval shaped paws.

The tail is long and thin, finishing in a graceful plume.

Their head is wedge-shaped, medium sized and thin. The cranium is flat, straight nose with a fine snout. Almond shaped eyes, oblique towards the nose without being cross-eyed. The ears are big, wide at the base and pointed

They love to play, very active. They don't like being caged. So if you are planning on having a litter with this breed, it is very difficult to maintain them caged without provoking any changes in their character or conduct problems.

They are insatiably curious with everything that goes on in the house, which it wouldn't make it weird to be following constantly their owner.
