the Balinesen belongs to the most impressive and most graceful races. The Balinese essentially is a Siam-Katze with a half-long-haired fur. its fashionable physique and its lithe movements reminded the breeders of the temple-dancers of the island Bali. So, the Balinesen-Katze got its name. The Balinesen-Katze doesn't come from Bali either, but from America. There, the first half-long-haired Siam-Katzen were bred in the forties. Presumably over Persians Colourpoint or also over them Turkish Angora. in 1970, the Balinese was acknowledged by the CFA officially. If you are it about a Tabbypoint of half-long-haired Siamesen, then, it is called not Balinese but Java-It. Both races come from America.

In the stature of the Balinesen-Katze, one recognizes the relationship with the Siam-Katze. its moderate-sized, slim, but nevertheless muscular body becomes from a half-reaches, fine-silken fur covers. This approximately 50mm tall skin is more easy-care in the comparison to other long-hair-races and from impressive beauty. The Balinese is bred into all the Siam-Farben. The slim legs are behind higher than in the front. The head is oblong, wedge-shaped and from middle size. The nose is long and straight, the forehead is flat. The Balinese has almond-shaped eyes of shining, azure color. The tail is long and, running out to a fine top. The tail-hair is extended like a feather.

its temper turns it into a true acrobat. it runs and likes to jump and climbs its trims and Kratzbaum with preference. its movement-urge is big. The Balinese is very sensitive and extremely intelligent like the Siam. it is very tender and virtually showers its human being with tenderness.
