By Melissa Long


The Balinese is a breed of domestic cat that has long hair and point coloration similar in style to that of Siamese. Its other name is purebred long-haired Siamese because it originated following a mutation of the Siamese breed. It is essentially a Siamese only that it has a silky coat that is medium in length and a plumed tail. For anyone who wants to buy Balinese kittens for sale, this information should be useful.

Siamese and Balinese show a lot of resemblance in all other respects. For instance, they both have wedge-shaped or triangular heads, large ears, blue eyes, and striking color points. Both has masculine body figures and same size. The resemblance comes from mutation of the Siamese breed to produce Balinese. Otherwise, the similarity is amazing with minor differences.

Bali, the Indonesian Island and the name Balinese have no relationship at all. The cat was developed because breeders wanted to reveal the recessive long hair trait that was in Siamese. The initial name, long-haired Siamese was very long and was therefore dropped in favor of a shorter one. The current name was given in reference to Balinese dancers. Today, evolution has allowed the cat to have two separate varieties depending on physical type.

The coat of this cat is medium in length and should be soft and silky. However, there may be differences among individuals in the length of the coat.

The color of eyes ranges from blue to sapphire/violet. Age and diet may affect the intensity of the eye color.

Pure cream and white are the colors for newly born kittens, which start to develop visible points in cold parts of the body. Darkening occurs in the face, tail, ears, and paws. By the age of four weeks, they have identifiable body color. Coat color darkens as the cat continues to age. Lighter coats have been observed in cats living in warmer areas while those in cold areas have darker coats.
