General Type Standard
The Balinese cat should be a beautifully balanced animal, with head, ears and neck carried on a lithe and
graceful body, supported on slim legs and feet, with a tail in proportion and
with a medium-long coat, fine and silky in texture. The head and profile should
be wedge-shaped, neither round nor pointed; the eyes a clear brilliant blue;
expression alert and intelligent.
Head
- Long and well proportioned, carried upon an elegant neck, with width between the ears,
narrowing in perfectly straight lines to a fine muzzle, with straight
profile, strong chin and level bite.
Ears
- Rather large and pricked, with width at base, set to follow the lines of the wedge. The
ears may be tufted.
Eyes
- Oriental in shape and slanting towards the nose, but with width between. Colour bright,
clear blue, the deeper the better. They should not be deep set, causing
the haws to show abnormally.
Body, Legs and Feet
- Body medium in size, lithe and graceful. Legs proportionally slim, hind legs slightly
higher than front legs; feet small and oval. The body, legs and feet
should all be in proportion, giving the whole a well balanced appearance.
Tail
- Plume-like, long and tapering, free from any kink.
Points
- Mask, ears, legs, feet and tail dense with colour clearly defined, matching in tone on all
points, showing clear contrast between points and body colour, noting
that the length of coat may affect the depth of tone. Mask complete and
(except kittens) connected by tracings with the ears.
- Note: As coat length tends to disguise tail markings on Tabby Point and Tortie Point
cats, the tail should be held by the tip, shaken and viewed from the
rear.
Coat
- Medium-long, fine and silky in texture, without woolly undercoat, lying mainly flat along the body.
- Notes:
- 1. The coat lies flat along the body, with the exception of the areas around the chin,
neck and tail, where there may be a tendency to frill, thereby
disguising the underlying bone structure. By smoothing back the coat it
is possible to study the lines of the bone. Absence of a frill is to be preferred.
- 2. Balinese do not normally achieve full coat until they are adult and allowance should be made for this.
Colour
- As per individual colour standards, any shading to appear on back and sides. Colour
shading on coat (if any) should be pale and matching the tone of the
points colour. Bib, chest and belly to be pale.
Withhold all Awards for:
White markings anywhere.

- Any abnormality of bite, or very weak chin
