Balinese are gentle, curious, intelligent, observant, very affectionate and real cuddle bunnies. They are busy, playful and can be fairly vocal at times, especially the Tortie points! Life with a Balinese is certainly entertaining. I’m crazy about my Balinese family and can’t imagine life without them. Owned by Jenni Ferreira A Balinese is affection and elegance personified on four feet. A Balinese loves you, and you must be informed about this at frequent intervals. When you sit down, he sits, too-on or beside you! When you go to bed, so does he, - and if you allow-of course on top of your cover, or under them. They learn extremely quick, are curious about almost everything and you can be sure that they always have new ideas how to get your attention. This is why for many people “once an balinese cat, means always a an balinese cat”.

They find their way into your heart by just one look into their amazing blue eyes! If you like action in your house, lots of affection and a true lapcat, get a Balinese! Never keep a Balinese alone, they need other feline company, no matter what breed they are! To have only one could be lonely, two is forever company and a playmate, and undoubtedly love comes with that. To own Balinese cats, is to live and love all over again. Karen Balkin Hohenstein Owned by Angelika Kneifel I love Balinese cats. My first cat was a Balinese. Isn’t first love always something special? They are great companions. They comfort when you are sad, heal you when you are sick, are there when you need them. They come from all sides. Nothing like a Maine Coon. Their coat is softer than expensive designer silk. Their blue eyes are as deep as the sea. Being first time owners of Balinese cats, we were unsure of what we were in for. From the day we brought them home and 6 years down the line, our lives have changed. Our beloved Dijon and Angelique are our “laat lammetjies”. Unlike other cats, we have found our babies are highly intelligent and love to socially interact with us. They love to follow us around the house, comparable to that what they say about dogs. They communicate vocally with us, in a way that is completely understood, asking for food, asking to play as well as asking us to please open the duvet as they would like to sleep underneath with us.
