The Balinese cat is native to the United States and is not really related to Bali, but is named Balinese because its movements resemble the posture of indigenous Balinese dancers. From the alias of the Bali cat, we can see that the Bali cat has a certain origin with the Siamese cat, and they are bred from the Siamese cat's offspring with genetic mutation. This cat was first recognized in the United States in the 1960s.
When the Balinese cat first appeared, cat breeders did not take much interest in them, but this unappreciated cat attracted a lot of attention, and the Balinese cat began to develop afterwards.
Balinese cats are naturally athletic, so keeping them indoors for long periods of time may not allow them to display their talents, and if conditions allow, it is best to take them for a walk in a small garden or courtyard. In addition to being athletic, Balinese cats are also natural hunters, but since they are basically kept indoors, they have little opportunity to hunt, but owners can prepare a few small toys as bait and throw them to a distance to train them to hunt.
Balinese cats are devoted to their owners, and they are the kind of cats that will follow you around, sometimes you may mistake that you have a dog instead of a cat. It is also because of this personality that Balinese cats love to be petted and interacted with by their owners. They are also very willing to give you a loving hug whenever you are free, and because Balinese cats do not shed too much hair, they are very popular with cat lovers.
In addition to being able to live peacefully with their owners, Balinese cats can also live happily with dogs and other cats, so if you have other animals at home, you don't have to worry about whether your Balinese cat will not get along with other animals. Smart and enthusiastic has always been synonymous with Balinese cats, and they are obviously more affectionate than their ancestor, the Siamese. Although Balinese cats also like to play, they are not difficult to control and will come over to your command as long as their owners call them, because they themselves are very fond of the company of humans, and if they live alone all the time, they may really suffer from depression.
Many people know that Siamese cats have a loud and not very soft purr, but Balinese cats do not inherit this characteristic, they have a softer purr and do not bore their owners. Most Balinese cats will also look at their owners, for example, when they find their owners in a good mood, they will pamper them and ask for petting, while when they find their owners are depressed or angry, they will give them a little space of their own.
Balinese cats are very curious, and once they are interested in something or an object, they will follow it relentlessly until they lose interest. At the same time, they are also very sensitive, a little wind and grass may also attract their attention, so under the dual role of curiosity and sensitivity, the owner may find the cat moving like a detective living mysteriously.
In addition, the Balinese cat is also one of the super-compatible animals, whether it is for the family dog or other cats, they do not produce hostility, if the family dog or cat are very active, then they can certainly play together, but the owner may have to consider how to let them quickly stop, because if they play crazy, the final scratch or the owner. The care of Balinese cats need to make some changes according to their body changes at different times, in general, in the cat within 6 months of age, the owner may need to spend more time and energy to take care of the cat, mainly because the cat from birth to six months old, the body is in a rapid growth period, if there are some mistakes in the feeding process may lead to the cat can not live normally in the future
