Summary
About Balinese
The Balinese is a semi‑longhaired Siamese‑type cat with vivid blue eyes, silky low‑shedding coat, and plumed tail. Active, very vocal, and people focused, it thrives on attention, play, training, and vertical space, suiting interactive homes more than quiet, hands‑off households.
About Khao Manee
The Khao Manee is an ancient Thai “White Gem” cat with a pure white coat and vivid eyes, often odd‑colored. Medium, athletic and graceful, it is sociable, vocal, intelligent and playful, bonding closely with people. Still rare, breeders emphasize health, hearing tests and diversity.
