These graceful felines were originally registered as “long-haired Siamese” because they are found occasionally in a Siamese litter. It was later in the 1950’s, one of the pioneer breeder Helen Smith named the breed Balinese, which resemble the graceful and beauty of a Balinese dancer.“Fox-looked alike”
The Balinese cat has a wedge head, in the shape of an equilateral triangle, and sapphire blue almond-shape eyes.
