What is a Balinese cat?

A Balinese cat is a long-haired breed developed from Siamese cats to achieve longer hair. Balinese cats are characterized by their elegant physique, almond-shaped blue eyes, and pointed coloration on their ears, face, paws, and tail. There are two types of Balinese: The traditional ("old-style") Balinese, which feature apple-shaped heads, and the modern types, which feature wedge-shaped heads.
