The Javanese cat is a human-oriented cat that will love following you around the house, keeping up a running meow monologue the whole time. Playful, chatty, and loving, they are an elegant and graceful breed. They are a relatively new breed, having only originated in the 1970s. Similar to Siamese Cats and Balinese Cats, the name is inspired by Java, an island close to Balinese, and hints at the relationship between the two breeds.
