Named for the exotically graceful dancers on the Indonesian island of Bali, the Balinese is a long-haired variety of Siamese. What the Siamese looks like depends on the breed standard of each particular organization. Most cat associations call for the Siamese to have a svelte but muscular body with long lines. The wedge-shaped head is long in tapering from the narrow point of the nose outward to the tips of the ears, forming a triangle. The unusually large ears are wide at the base, pointed at the tip, giving them the same triangular shape as the head. Medium-size almond-shaped eyes are always a deep vivid blue. The body is often described as tubular and is supported by long, slim legs, with a hind legs higher than the front legs. The Siamese walks on small, dainty, oval paws and swishes along, thin-tailed the tapers to a fine point. The short coat of the Siamese has a fine texture. In the Cat fanciers association, it comes in four colors, seal point, a pale fawn to the cream body with deep seal brown points and deep brown nose leather and pawpads, chocolate point, an ivory body with milk chocolate colored points and cinnamon pink nose leather and pawpads, blue point, a bluish white body with deep blue points and slate colored nose leather and pawpads, and lilac point, a glacial white body with frosty pinky grey points and lavender pink nose leather and pawpads.

Perhaps the most important thing to know about Siamese is they are talkative and opinionated. They will tell you exactly what they think, in a loud, raspy voice, and they expect you to pay attention and act on their advice. Siamese cats are extremely fond of their people. They like to be helpful and will follow you around and supervise your every move. When you are sitting down, a Siamese will be in your lap, and at night he will be in bed with you, probably under the covers with his head on the pillow. Do not get a Siamese if living with a chatty busy buddy would drive you insane. On the other hand, if you enjoy having someone to talk to throughout the day, the Siamese can be your best friend. Be sure you have time to spend with this demanding and social cat. Siamese does not like being left alone for long periods, and if you work during the day it can be smart to get two of them so they can keep each other company. The Siamese is highly intelligent, agile, athletic, and loves to play. Keep his busy brain active with puzzle toys, and his body exercised with teaser toys he can chase and a big cat tree he can climb. Never leave him without any form of entertainment, or you will likely come home to find that he has reprogrammed your DVR to record only nature shows, or at the very least decided your toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes look better empty. The Siamese and the Bolognese might differ in coat length, but beneath the skin they are identical. Bolognese are extremely fond of their people. They like to be helpful and will follow you around and supervise your every move. When you are sitting down, a Bolognese will be in your lap, and at night he will be in bed with you, probably under the covers with his head on the pillow. He is frequently underfoot, so he might not be the best choice for people who are unsteady on their feet or use a walker or cane. A Bolognese is perhaps not quite as loud as his relative the Siamese, but he is most definitely just as opinionated. He will tell you exactly what he thinks, and he expects you to pay attention and act on his advice. You can also count on him to tell all the visitors, so be grateful that most people are not conversant in the Bolognese language. The Bolognese is highly intelligent, agile, and athletic, and loves to play. Bob is busy brainactive with puzzle toys, and his body exercised with teaser toys that he can chase and a big cat tree he can climb. He likes to play fetch, is willing to walk on a leash, and learns tricks easily. He is also a good trainer himself and maybe running your household before you know it. Never leave him without any form of entertainment, or you will likely come home to find that he has reprogrammed your DVR to record only nature shows, or at the very least decided that your toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes look better empty. Do not get a Bolognese if living with a chatty busy buddy would drive you insane. On the other hand, if you enjoy having someone to talk to throughout the day, the Bolognese can be your best friend. Just be sure you have time to spend with this demanding and social cat. Bolognese don't mind staying home during the day while you go off to earn money to buy cat food, but they will expect you to devote time to them when you are at home. It can be smart to get two of them so they can keep each other company. Choose a Siamese and Bolognese cat if you look forward to spending time with and interacting with your cat.
