 In Australia, the Balinese is a
long-haired Siamese and comes in every colour a Siamese comes in;
and a Javanese is a long-haired oriental and can come in all solid
colour and tabby varieties. The Balinese have blue eyes and the
Javanese have green eyes. They have a semi-longhaired silky (not
fluffy) coat that requires almost no grooming. Having no under-coat
means no matts or tangles. The Balinese and Javanese may be referred
to as long-haired Siamese cats. They have the long, slender,
Oriental body type and long, wedge-shaped head like the Siamese, but
have a long silky coat with no dense undercoat. The hair lies close
to the body, and the tail is plumed. The Balinese has colour points
like the Siamese, with accepted colours for points including lilac,
blue, chocolate and seal. The Javanese is virtually identical, but
with colour points differing from those accepted for the Balinese.
In both, the points may darken with age. All varieties have blue
eyes.
