The Balinese Cat Profile
Your guide to the history, characteristics and personality of the American Wirehair Cat

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.

Appearance of the Balinese Cat
The Balinese cat is a color-pointed cat and can be found in points seal, blue, lilac, chocolate, tortie and lynx.

Personality of the Balinese Cat
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.
