The Balinese cat is known for its slender build and long, flowing coat. Despite their delicate appearance, these cats are surprisingly muscular and athletic. Their silky coat, lacking an undercoat, lies close to the body, giving them a streamlined look. With their large ears, wedge-shaped heads, and expressive eyes, Balinese cats share a striking resemblance to their Siamese counterparts. However, the Balinese’s longer, flowing coat sets them apart, creating a truly captivating and distinctive appearance. All Balinese cats share a distinctive color point pattern, with darker colors concentrated on the face, ears, legs, and tail, contrasting with a paler body.
