physical appearance
As we can see, it is a stylized cat following the Siamese style, although the latter has a thick, thick coat. We can find it in all basic colors including white, blue or chocolate.
Its noble appearance makes it different from other cat breeds and, although it looks thin and weak, the Balinese has strong, long legs that allow it to exercise actively throughout the day.
We highlight its slender, Asian-looking triangular head with two large, pointed ears that give it a look of surprise and alertness. The eyes are usually an intense, clean blue.
Character
it is about a cat very faithful to its owner who can even ignore the other members of his family, his behavior is very affectionate, sweet and friendly with which he feeds, cares and caresses.
The Balinese cat usually gets along well with children, as it is a breed playful and active who won't hesitate to spend time following dusters, rat toys and the like. He likes to draw attention to himself and other people as we are talking about an eccentric cat who hates to go unnoticed.
We highlight your predisposition to "talk", as the Balinese has a very elegant meowing and different from other cats we may know, you should be clear that you don't mind if you dedicate part of your time to communication.
He has a strong personality that sometimes prevents him from socializing with other cats in the same house, because as we mentioned before, he is an egocentric cat who just wants to be pampered.
care
The care of the Balinese cat is no different from that of other pets, you should keep its health in perfect condition by taking it to the veterinarian, deworm it when necessary and have the basic elements in the house, such as: bowl for food and drink, a comfortable bed, sandbox, toys and scratchers.
It is important that brush your fur long at least twice a week, otherwise your fur will become easily matted, dirty and knots may form. At the time of hair change, brushing should be daily.
Health
The Balinese cat, descending from Siamese, may suffer from squint, which is an alteration of the optic nerve and nystagmus, rapid movements of the eye back and forth. But if you vaccinate your cat and take him to the vet often enough, he won't have any health problems.
