Good to know

  • Named after an island it has no connection with, following the Balinese naming joke.
  • Registries disagree over whether it is a separate breed or a division of the Balinese.
  • Lacks an undercoat, so the coat lies close and sheds lightly.

Who it suits

Owners at home much of the day who want a vocal, affectionate shadow.

Care

Comb twice a week. Never leave it alone for long stretches — it takes solitude badly.

History of the breed

Bred in North America from the 1970s as a longhaired Oriental in colours the Balinese standard did not allow. Registries have shuffled it about ever since: some treat it as its own breed, others as a division of the Balinese or the Oriental Longhair.
