Cheap Balinese Cat Pet Insurance

The Balinese cat is a long-haired, elegant breed with Siamese-style markings. They look like a Siamese but with a medium-length, silky coat and a plumed tail, though they’re much less fluffy than a Himalayan and require less grooming. Balinese cats are smart but less talkative than their Siamese relatives.

Originally known as "longhaired Siamese," these cats have been around since the 1920s. For years, the longhaired kittens in Siamese litters were seen as unusual and sold as pets rather than show cats. This changed in the 1950s when breeders Marion Dorsey and Helen Smith started a breeding program for them. Helen named them "Balinese" because of their grace, reminiscent of Balinese dancers, and to avoid the clunky name "longhaired Siamese."

Today, there are two varieties: traditional and contemporary Balinese. Traditional Balinese have a two-inch-long coat, a semi-rounded muzzle, and sturdy bodies. Contemporary Balinese have shorter coats and resemble Siamese, except for their silky, plumed tails.

Balinese are active, social cats. They love following their humans around and can be demanding when they want attention. They’re also known for being cuddly lap cats. These breeds need lots of interaction and playtime to stay happy, and they enjoy climbing to high places. If you don’t provide a perch, they’ll find one! They’re agile and can slip under low furniture with ease. Their playfulness means they’ll turn anything into a toy, from ping-pong balls to pens and papers.

These cats are "talkative," with distinct voices, often "chatting" for no particular reason. If you’re looking for an active, fun, and devoted companion with a graceful appearance, a Balinese might just be the perfect fit.
