Overview: The Balinese is a graceful and elegant cat known for its fine boned structure, large ears, and expressive eyes. They are often described as having a “feather boa” tail due to their flowing fur. This breed is highly social, affectionate, and enjoys being around people. Their intelligence makes them quick learners, but they also have a playful side that requires plenty of toys and interactive playtime. Despite their long hair, they don’t shed excessively thanks to a unique gene that reduces the amount of undercoat they produce. Regular grooming is still necessary to prevent matting and keep their coats looking beautiful.
