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 Nebelung
The Nebelung is a medium, semi‑longhaired blue cat with a silky, silver‑tipped coat and vivid green eyes. Calm, loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with chosen people, prefers quiet homes, sheds little for its coat length, and enjoys gentle play, routine and thoughtful handling.
