Which cat breed is right for you?
The Balinese is essentially a longhaired Siamese — first recognized in the 1950s when longhaired kittens occasionally appeared in Siamese litters. This medium-sized, elegant breed weighs 5–10 pounds and is known for its striking blue almond-shaped eyes and silky, flowing coat. Their coloring follows the classic Siamese point pattern in seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac — with a creamy body and darker extremities.
Balinese cats are vocal, affectionate, and deeply bonded to their owners — often following them around the house and "chatting" throughout the day. They are highly intelligent, enjoy puzzle toys, and can even learn to walk on a leash. They do well with respectful children and other social pets, though they tend to choose one person as their primary companion.

The Oriental Shorthair emerged in the 1950s and 1960s when British breeders crossed Siamese cats with Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, and Abyssinians to create a Siamese-type cat in a rainbow of non-pointed colors. Sleek and angular at 6–12 pounds, this breed has a wedge-shaped head, strikingly large ears, vivid green eyes (or blue in white coats), and a short, fine, glossy coat in over 300 color-and-pattern combinations — more than any other cat breed.
Oriental Shorthairs are among the most extroverted and opinionated cats in existence — they will tell you exactly what they think in a loud, distinctive voice. Fiercely loyal, they bond tightly to their humans and follow them everywhere, including into the shower. They are athletic, curious, and endlessly entertaining, making them ideal for active households with children and other social pets.
