The Balinese is a natural long-haired mutation of the Siamese, sharing the same elegant body, striking color-point coat, and vocal, social personality. The coat is medium-long, silky, and single-layered — no dense undercoat means matting is far less common than the coat length suggests. Often recommended for allergy sufferers as they produce lower levels of Fel d1 protein.
