Balinese

Resembling the Siamese except for the longer hair on the coat, the Balinese are just as athletic as the Siamese. They excel in long interactive playtimes, are excellent climbers they are entertaining as well as graceful. Their motto would be- “Anything you can do, I can do better,” as they have to be involved in the moment and disturb whatever it is you are trying to do. If you don’t pay attention to them, the Balinese will let you know loudly that this will never suffice!

Balinese cats come in for distinct colors; lilac point, seal point, blue point and chocolate point. Their ears are a main feature large, pointed almost sideways off the top of their head, giving the head an appearance of a triangle.

Their eyes, large and expressive are deep blue. Their bodies are slender, their legs long and lanky. Intelligent and athletic they crave human company and their owners quickly fall in love with them as well. They love to talk, and will follow you around the house telling you in their soft trills about their day or how much they missed you while you were at work.
