We say that The Himalayan cat is a Persian cat with Siamese fur. So are there Siamese cats with persian cats that grow like long hair? Amazingly, there's really one such breed in the world of cats, and that's what we're talking about — the Balinese cat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > origin</h1>
Names like Balinese cats are easily reminiscent of Bali, but they have little to do with it. In the beginning they were not called by this name, but were called "long-haired Siamese cats". However, such a breed name was opposed by Siamese cat breeding experts. Therefore, the breeders named them "Balinese cats" based on their graceful behavior like dancing dancers in Bali, Indonesia.
The birth of Balinese cats is not the result of artificial cultivation like Himalayan cats, they are more like a "beautiful mistake". In fact, as early as the breeders bred Siam, there were more than half-long cats and long-haired Siamese cats. Long-haired Siamese cats with these genetic mutations are thought to be defective, they do not meet aesthetic standards, and they are eliminated on the international stage.
It was not until the late 1950s that American breeders discovered the beauty of this long-haired Siamese cat and began to take advantage of this mistake to continue to cultivate this perverse long-haired Siamese cat, and they were committed to giving long-haired Siam a "name".
Finally, in 1963, the long-haired Siamese cat was recognized as a separate breed in the United States, and they had their own name, the Balinese cat. In Europe, it was not recognized until the mid-1980s.

Except for the fact that the Balinese cat has longer fur than Siamese, other characteristics are almost exactly the same as those of the Siamese cat. Its slender, slender body, wedge-shaped head and glowing apricot emerald blue eyes are all unmistakable proof of its Siamese cat ancestry.
Their appearance is also divided into "traditional" and "extreme". The "traditional" Balinese cat looks more rounded, while the "extreme" Balinese cat has a narrower, V-shaped face and wider ears.

Of course, the Balinese cat's medium-long, fine silky hair still distinguishes it from Siam. Unlike the previous "long hair is mutilated", this fur has become their most attractive place, and even surpassed the popularity of "genuine Siamese cats" abroad. The most attractive thing about Balinese cats is the gorgeous and large long tail, and their tail and head are surrounded by long, dense coats, which makes them look unusually gorgeous and elegant.
Unlike ordinary long-haired cats, Balinese cats do not have bottom pile, and their coat is flat against the body. What's particularly good is that they don't need to be groomed like other long-haired cats. This is simply a blessing for friends who like longhair cats, after all, long hair is good-looking, and it is really annoying to take care of.

We say that the only difference between Bali and Siam is the length of the cat, and the color is not directly related to the length, so the coat color of the two is the same. What seals, chocolate, lilac, blue accents, tortoiseshell tabby, Siamese cats have our Balinese cats all have.
The Balinese cat's accent color distribution is also no different from that of the Siamese cat. The markings on the face, ears, limbs, claws, and tail are distinctly colored and contrast with the color of the body. Of course, this accent color will also change with the change of temperature.
So what about the color of the Siamese cat? They are still considered to be a derivative of the Balinese cat and call them "Balinese Javan cats". Of course, there is still a lot of confusion about the name of this emerging variety, and the standards are different in each place. In North America, for example, Balinese cats of various colors are called "Javan cats", but in New Zealand, only monochromatic and speckled Balinese cats are called "Javan cats".

As close relatives, Balinese cats and Siamese cats also have similar personalities, they are also enthusiastic, they are emotionally rich, outgoing, like to talk to you, and circle around you all day. But perhaps to maintain their elegant posture, they are more docile and softer than Siamese cats.
They also like to be with other active cats and dogs, and they hate the loneliness of guys who are active and energetic and curious. If you have a Balinese cat in your home, you shouldn't be bored, but you also need to spend more time taking care of and accompanying them, and don't live up to their enthusiasm.
However, in the country, There are fewer people known to Balinese cats, the market is not very large, and the price is relatively not very high. Because muppet cats are more expensive, some cat houses sell Balinese cat kittens as muppet cats. Friends must be cautious before buying cats.
Beautiful, elegant, lively and loyal Balinese cats that love to snuggle in your arms. Do you like Balinese cats?
