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 Korat
The Korat is an ancient silver-blue Thai breed with a muscular, heart-shaped outline, large luminous green eyes, and a short, low-shedding coat. Quiet but people-focused, it bonds closely with one or two humans, enjoys interactive play, is highly trainable, and generally robust in health.
