Balanise CAt
History- Named for the exotically graceful dancers on the Indonesian island of Bali, the
Balinese is a longhaired variety of Siamese. It is unknown whether the long hair is
the result of a natural mutation or a cross between the Siamese and a longhaired breed such as a Persian or Turkish Angora.
Size- Balinese are medium-size cats that typically weigh 5 to 10 pounds.
Personality- The Balinese is highly intelligent, agile and athletic, and loves to play. Keep his busy brain
active with puzzle toys
and his body exercised with teaser toys that he can chase and a big cat tree he
can climb. He likes to play fetch, is willing to walk on a leash, and learns
tricks easily. He is also a good trainer himself and may be running your household
before you know it.
Care- The fine, silky coat of the Balinese is easily cared for. Comb it once or
twice a week with a stainless steel comb to remove dead hair. A bath is rarely
necessary.
Brush the teeth to prevent periodontal disease. Daily dental hygiene is best,
but weekly brushing is better than nothing. Wipe the corners of the eyes with a
soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Use a separate area of the cloth for
each eye so you don’t run the risk of spreading any infection. Check the ears
weekly. If they look dirty, wipe them out with a cotton ball or soft damp cloth
moistened with a 50-50 mixture of cider vinegar and warm water. Avoid using
cotton swabs, which can damage the interior of the ear.
Keep the litter box spotlessly clean. Like all cats, Balinese are very
particular about bathroom hygiene.
