🐱 Balinese kittens
The Balinese is a silky, semi-longhaired variety of the Siamese—elegant, vocal, and highly intelligent, with the same striking points and blue eyes. It is affectionate and talkative, and is often considered a lower-allergen choice among cats.
History & background
The Balinese arose as a natural long-haired mutation within Siamese litters and was developed as its own breed in the United States from the 1950s, named for the grace of Balinese dancers. It shares the Siamese body type and pointed coloration.
Is a Balinese right for you?
Balinese suit interactive owners and families who welcome a chatty, clever companion and can give steady attention. Very social, they bond closely, get on well with children and other pets, and dislike being left alone for long.
Care & health
The single, silky coat has no thick undercoat, so it rarely mats and needs only weekly brushing with light shedding. Offer lots of mental stimulation and play; like the Siamese, they can be prone to dental issues and some inherited eye conditions.

Are Balinese cats vocal?
Yes. Like their Siamese relatives, Balinese are talkative and social, often 'conversing' with their owners throughout the day.
