	Balinese (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Balinese was originally registered as a 'longhaired Siamese', and examples were known from the early 1920s.
		Helen Smith named the cats 'Balinese' because she felt they showed the grace and beauty of Balinese dancers, and because 'longhaired Siamese' seemed a rather clunky name for such graceful felines.
		The traditional Balinese cat has a coat approximately two inches long over its entire body and it is a sturdy and robust cat with a semi-rounded muzzle and ears.

	Traditional Balinese Breed FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Balinese are also very fond of dogs, perhaps (like Traditional Siamese) feeling akin to them, and often will sleep curled up with 'their' dog and even let themselves be nuzzled or groomed.
		Balinese are very playful and intelligent cats and for this reason adapt easily to the noise and activity of children, and typically throw themselves right into the middle of the fun.
		Balinese are cuddly and affectionate and their soft hair makes them ideal as something soft and warm to hold and pet.

	The Balinese Cat
		In a way, the balinese cat is a siamese, because it resembles it regarding its colour, type and unmistakable character.
		The only characteristic that distinguishes it from the siamese, is the medium long silky fur of the balinese and, of course, its name that enthusiastic fans gave to it, because they were as fascinated by this breed as by the graceful temple dancers of the isle Bali.
		It is imaginable that the balinese originated from the siamese as a mutation, but it is also quite possible that other long-haired cat breeds have been crossed into the siamese breed.

	About Bali & Indonesia Travel \| Balinese Hinduism - Baliforyou.com
		Balinese society is separated into four main groups: brahmana, satriya, wesya and anak jaba or sudra, which are in turn subdivided into many more.
		Balinese Hinduism encompasses a vast range of practices and doctrines, dominated by Siwaitic characteristics.
		The first of these, the bhuta yadnya, are rites carried out to appease evil forces, personified in the form of ogres, witches and demons, and to cleanse man and his surroundings from their influences.

	Cats and Kittens Magazine Balinese Breed Profile
		Perhaps Balinese breeders shared this concern, perhaps they were unfamiliar with basic genetics, perhaps they were not willing to admit that their cats were hybrids instead of a naturally occurring breed, or perhaps they simply feared the frenzy of Siamese breeders, who were even less able to admit that their breed was not entirely pure.
		The Balinese, a willowy cat with long, tapering lines, and a lithe, muscular body, is chiefly distinguished from its Siamese relatives by a slight fringe on the underbelly and a modest plume of a tail.
		Otherwise, the Balinese, too, is a fine-boned, but firm-muscled, cat with a medium-sized body – graceful, protracted, and svelte – that is equally slim at the shoulders and hips.

	Indonesia - Balinese
		Although Hinduism had already established a foothold on Bali, the contemporary distinctive Hindu religious practices of the Balinese date back at least to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when Javanese princes from Majapahit fled the advances of Islam and sought refuge in Bali, where they were absorbed into the local culture.
		Since that time, Balinese, with the exception of a minority of Muslims in the north, have maintained a generally anti-Islamic political stance, preserving a great pride in their own culture.
		The very complexity of Balinese social organization has provided it with the flexibility to adapt to the pressures of modern life and its requirements for the accumulation, distribution, and mobilization of capital and technological resources.

		Named for the graceful dancers of the Island of Bali, the Balinese is perfect for those who want a companion with the personality and svelte styling of the Siamese and the luxuriance of a semi-long soft-as-ermine coat.
		The extreme Balinese has the same body type as an extreme Siamese: a long, tapering wedge-shaped head perched on a long, slender neck; strikingly large, pointed ears that are wide at the base; and medium-sized, almond-shaped eyes.
		The Balinese’s coat is fine, silky, and medium length, but the fur lies against the body so it appears shorter than it actually is. The hair on the tail is longer, however, and spreads out in a striking plume.

		Although it is probable that occasional longhaired kittens had been turning up in pedigreed Siamese litters long before they attracted the interest of a few imaginative breeders, no serious effort was made to promote the longhairs as a new breed until the 1940’s.
		Because the Balinese has a single coat, in contrast to the double coat of other longhairs, the hair lies close to the body, flowing naturally toward the rear.

		In Balinese Worlds, Fredrik Barth proposes a new model for anthropological analysis of complex civilizations that is based on a fresh, synthetic account of culture and society in North Bali and one that takes full notice of individual creativity in shaping the contours of this dynamic culture.
		Barth's innovative analysis of Balinese life highlights both the constructive and the disorganizing effects of individual action, the constant flux of interpretation, and the powerful interaction of memory and social relationships, and knowledge as a cultural resource.
		Balinese Worlds is a unique contribution not only to Balinese studies but also to the theory and methods of the anthropology of complex societies.
