Balinese (cat)

Origin

This cat appeared in the Forties in the United States, when stockbreeders were interested in the kittens Siamois incipient with semi-long or long hairs; up to that point eliminated from the crossings, these cats were paired and ended up being regarded as a distinct race.

They were called Balinese because the stockbreeders compared the pace and the movements of this cat with those of the dancers of Bali.

Morphology

Like the Siamese, the Balinese has a body longiligne and flexible.

Its head is triangular with a fine muzzle, the eyes blue and are attached. The ears are large, pointed and isolated.

Peeling is semi-length (it does not have the length of that of a Persan), silky, and has the same characteristic colors as the Siamois.

The tail long, thin and is provided.

Character

The Balinese shares with the Siamois a character player and credit. Like his/her cousin, it is also a large chatterer who often makes hear his characteristic mewings. Sometimes sociable, extremely affectionate, he seeks to draw the attention when he feels been unaware of. In apartment or shift, he appreciates free spaces on the terrace and in the garden.
