The Balinese is an active and busy cat that likes a 'chat' and is more than happy to follow its owner around lavishing affection on them as they go!
BACKGROUND
This long-haired cat is part of the Oriental family and was developed from the long-coated breeds that were found in Siamese litters throughout the USA. Its elegant shape and movement was the inspiration for its name as it reminded breeders of the native dancers on the island of Bali.
CHARACTERISTICS
The Balinese is an easy-going cat and will happily play with any children in the home, but as with any pet, children do need to be taught to respect this cat and allow it its own space.
CARE REQUIREMENTS
The Balinese conforms to the svelte shape of the Siamese. However, overlaying its slim body is its semi-long silky coat that, despite its length, does not require as much grooming as those of other long-haired breeds. In fact, this beautiful coat and its gorgeous, long plumed tail are almost the only things that distinguish it from the Siamese and make it an easy to care for cat.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN
The Balinese will usually live up to 12 years of age, but with the proper care and nutrition can live up to 14 years of age.
AVERAGE SIZE AND WEIGHT
These animals are slightly under medium height with the females usually weighing up to 3kg and the males weighing up to 5.5kg
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PETS
This breed will happily get along with other pets, but its ideal playmate is another Balinese so that they can play together and “make happy mischief”.
IDEAL OWNERS
For those people who want to own a cat that is on the ball, the Balinese is an active, playful, and devoted companion with elegant good looks, and likes nothing better than a cuddle or to sit on its owners lap. Secure premises are also best so not to allow this character to roam.
