Seychellois Picture

You can see that the rare, Continental European, Seychellois, is a Modern type Siamese/Oriental Shorthair cat in terms of underlying appearance. This is a slender, oriental bodied cat. In profile there should be a smooth, straight line from the forehead to the tip of the nose (no nose break). This cat is both long haired and short haired. It is registered at FIFE, a continental Europe cat association. This is a pointed cat as per the Siamese with bioclor pointing on the face to varying degrees and patterns, the inverted van "V" shape being desirable, it seems. This is called "particolor pointing" as far as I am aware. The ears are large and the face elongated. This is a svelte, slender cat and in terms of temperament it probably follows the Siamese, Balinese and Oriental Shorthair in being vocal, loyal and requiring close human contact. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please read and see more...

Balinese Cat Picture

This is a Balinese cat photograph by Helmi Flick, the well known professional cat photographer in the United States. This particular cat, almost certainly a fine show quality cat, is what I would call a modern Balinese, meaning it has a slender body or in cat fancy language "oriental" in shape. There are also traditional Balinese cats, just as there are traditional Siamese cats, which are less slender.

The Balinese is a semi-long haired modern Siamese cat. The long hair of this cat breed is quite different to, for example, the Maine Coon or the Persian. As you can see the fur lies close to the body and is silky and fine. This cat's coat is easy to maintain in comparison to a Persian. The tail of this cat is special as it is beautifully plumed. The Balinese is shown in the pointed category in all divisions on the show circuit. Balinese cats make sweet and loyal companions. Click here to read and see more.
