History of the Balinese Cat
The Balinese Cat is actually a long-haired
Siamese cat. In the 1930s
and 40s cat breeders wanted to produce a long-haired Siamese
by cross-breeding them with Angora Cats. After several generations
of cross-breeding, cat breeders were able to produce the desired
coat. The very first Balinese cats
had long, flowing coats; these
coats eventually shortened in length due to repeated cross-breeding
with the Siamese.
The Balinese
cat is a color-pointed cat and can be found in points seal,
blue, lilac, chocolate, tortie and lynx. The personality of
the Balinese can be described as intelligent and curious, although
less vocal compared with its Siamese progenitors. Like the Siamese
Cat, Balinese cats hate being left alone for long periods of
time and can create mischief if left alone or bored. If
you are planning to choose a Balinese cat it is probably a good
idea to get a pair together.

Cat Fact:
Balinese cats have
a graceful way of moving about and so were named by their first
breeder after dancers on the island of Bali.
