Siamese cats are no strangers to everyone. It is handsome and cute, has a pair of sapphire eyes, and is very loyal to its owner. At the same time, the Siamese cat is affectionately called "coal digger" by the shovelers because of its small black face, and because of its boldness, love to tear down the house, and big voice, the shovelers feel that they have a puppy.

We have all learned the charm of the Siamese cat, so what is its long-haired cat breed?
Today we will talk in detail about the long-haired cat breed of Siamese cat - Balinese cat.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the birth of the Balinese cat</h1>
The birth of the Balinese cat seems like a "beautiful mistake". Before the 1950s, when breeders were breeding Siamese cats, there were more than half-long cats and long-haired Siamese cats, which were called "defective Siamese cats". The long-haired Siamese are hardly liked and recognized by people, so they are not sold as breed cats.
Thankfully, there are two guys named Marion. Dorsey and Helen. Smith's breeding experts, who consider the long-haired Siamese cat to be very beautiful, have been working to give the long-haired Siamese cat a "name".
At first, the breed name "long-haired Siamese cat" was opposed by short-haired Siamese cat breeding experts. Later, Helen. Smith thought of the cat's elegant appearance like a Balinese dancing dancer, so he named it "Balinese Cat" (not because Balinese cats are born in Bali).
Balinese cats began to participate in cat shows in 1930, but people at that time attached great importance to the purity of cat pedigree, so Balinese cats have not been recognized. For the next three decades, breeders have been improving the breeding of Balinese cats. Finally in 1963, balinese cats were recognized. For a time, Balinese cats were even more popular than Siamese cats.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the appearance characteristics of Balinese cats</h1>
Balinese cats are like brothers of Siamese cats, as everyone expects, Balinese cats have almost the same characteristics as Siamese cats except that the coat is longer than siamese cats.
Balinese cats have the same royal blue eyes as Siamese cats, and the coat color is also some of the accent colors that Siamese cats have, and their body types are also oriental. However, the country of origin of the Siamese cat is Thailand, while the country of origin of the Balinese cat is the United States.
Country of origin: United States
Year of birth: 1950s
Body type: Oriental body type
Coat type: Long hair
Coat color: chocolate accent color, seal color accent color, light purple accent color, blue accent color, etc
Interestingly, the appearance of Balinese cats is divided into "traditional type" and "extreme type". The "traditional" Balinese cat looks more rounded, while the "extreme" Balinese cat has a narrower, V-shaped face and wider ears.

The most attractive part of the Balinese cat is the semi-long coat, especially the long and dense coat distributed around the tail and head, which looks elegant and gorgeous, and the most attractive thing is its gorgeous and large long tail.

Long-haired cats always feel more docile and elegant, and Balinese cats are soft as silk, and the coat is medium in length and does not need to be carefully groomed like other long-haired cats. Balinese cats are a good choice for shovelers who like long-haired cats and are worried that long-haired cats will lose their hair too much.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the character traits of Balinese cats</h1>
Balinese cats are emotionally rich, outgoing and active, curious, intelligent and playful, and like to get along with small animals. Balinese cats are as clingy as Siamese cats, but more docile than Siamese cats.
They love to be spoiled, very loyal to their masters, like to surround their masters at all times, and do not like to be lonely. If there is a Balinese cat in the house, the owner will not be bored, it is as energetic as the Siamese cat and likes to talk to the owner. However, the owners also need to take some time to take care of and accompany them, and not to live up to their enthusiasm.
The market once coaxed the price of Siamese cats, making Siamese cats into cats that everyone could not afford, and the fate of Balinese cats was not very good. It is said that because fewer people know Balinese cats, many bad cat houses use Balinese cat kittens as muppet cats for sale.
If you like Balinese cats, be sure to buy them with caution. However, I still have that sentence: people who really like cats, no matter what kind of cats are cute, treat the kittens around you well.
