This breed may appear to be the picture of refinement, but in this elegant body beats the heart of a kitten who loves to have fun.
Balinese and Javanese adore people and want to be with their people. This makes them wonderful companions for those who have the time and desire to appreciate this most intelligent, entertaining companion.
Balinese and Javanese are talkative, similar to the Siamese. They are extroverts who get along well with children and other four-legged family members.
Balinese and Javanese will generally thrive on the nutrition of a quality adult cat food. For Balinese and Javanese who need help with weight management, consider a healthy weight formula.
Balinese and Javanese kittens should eat a kitten food for their first year of life to aid in their growth and development.
The generally accepted explanation for the origin of this breed is a natural mutation for long hair in the Siamese cat breed. In fact, this coat length is the primary difference between the Balinese and Siamese.
Although longhaired Siamese kittens had certainly been making occasional appearances in litters, the first real breeding program for this breed didn’t begin until the 1950s.
