The Balinese cat is a breed of domestic cat originating from the island of Bali in Indonesia. It is known for its long, silky coat and is a popular choice among cat lovers.
The "Balinese" is not actually from Bali or any part of Indonesia. Its history begins with the first Siamese cats that were imported from Thailand to the U.S. and U.K. in the mid-1800s, some of whom carried the recessive long-haired gene.
