I have two Balinese cats. They are long haired Siamese. The origin of the breed is not 100% clear, but probably stems from a shortage of breeding Siamese and with that cross breeding of Siamese and something long haired occurred. At first long haired kittens were just excluded from breeding and not recognised as true Siamese, but in the 50/60s it became its own recognised breed. Balinese are a little more laid back (and dumber) than Siamese and not quite as loud. There aren't that many of them so a lot of times Siamese, long haired and short haired Orientals (Siamese/Balinese in not pointed colours) and Balinese are cross bred and classified depending on their coat. Sadly genetic disease are a thing. One of my cats has a disease which will lead to blindness. The breeder I got her from figured it out after getting her from another breeder. She than bred her only once with a gen tested Balinese cat(the disease is recessive), neutered her and gave her up for adoption. That's how I got her and I bought on of her kittens to keep her company. I think I chose the right kitten from the litter as they are always cleaning each other, playing with each other and sleeping on top of each other (sometimes even on my lap). Both of them are very cuddly and playful. Just great cats. Even if the kitten is still a little skittish with strangers and loud sounds. After all that blah blah some pics of my cats, Marvin(chocolate-point) and his mom Happy(lilac-point):

So many cute cats. All those lovely noisy cats  fluffykittys posted:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006CUGFXI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3KEUUL52B6VRN&coliid=I3MHV8N814U54P Wanted to ask if you already got the Steiff one before I clicked on the link. It sucks that their stuff are collectors items, which get rather expensive when no longer produced. There's another German stuffed animal producer I like and they have a siemese doll, too. https://www.amazon.com/Heinrich-Bau...ia+Club+siamese But it's over expensive on Amazon. It goes for 30€ in Germany. Perhaps ebay has better prices.
