Birman Cat VS. Balinese Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


Birman communicates in a soft voice, mainly to remind you that perhaps it’s time for dinner or maybe for a nice cuddle on the sofa. They typically weigh 6 to 12 pounds.

Named for the exotically graceful dancers on the Indonesian island of Bali, the Balinese is a longhaired variety of Siamese. They typically weigh 5 to 10 pounds.


Birman has a silky, mediumlength coat in the pointed pattern of the Siamese, meaning that the color is darker on the face, ears, legs, and tail, a broad, rounded head topped with mediumsize ears, bright blue eyes that give him a sweet expression, and four white feet that give him the appearance of wearing little white mittens. This is a mediumsize to large cat with a stocky, powerful body that belies his gentle demeanor. The mediumlong to long coat has a silky texture and little undercoat, which means that it rarely mats. It forms a heavy ruff around the neck and is wavy on the belly.

A pale body, which varies in shade depending on the cat’s color, is set off by darker points. For instance, a seal point Birman has a body that is a pale fawn to cream color with a warm tone, gradually shading to a lighter color on the belly and chest. The points are a deep seal brown. On the front and back paws are white gloves ending in an even line across the paw. On the back paws, the gloves extend up the back of the leg and end in a point or an inverted V shape. In the show ring, the symmetry of the gloves and laces is an important factor and may mean the difference between a kitten going on to a career as a show cat or as a pet.

Besides seal point, Birmans come in blue point, chocolate point, lilac point, and various particolor point and lynx point colors. Lynx point Birmans have a clearly defined M marking on the forehead, light markings that resemble eyeglasses around the eyes, spotted whisker pads, solidcolored ears with no stripes, and thumb marks on the back of the ears. The legs and tail have stripes and rings.

Except for coat length, the Siamese and the Balinese are indistinguishable, having a svelte but muscular body with long lines and a wedgeshaped head that is long and tapering from the narrow point of the nose outward to the tips of the ears, forming a triangle. The unusually large ears are wide at the base and pointed at the tip, giving them the same triangular shape as the head. Mediumsize eyes are almondshaped. The body is often described as tubular and is supported by long, slim legs, with the hind legs higher than the front legs.

Balinese walks on small, dainty, oval paws and swishes a long, plumed tail that tapers to a fine point. The appearance of the body is softened by a mediumlength coat that is fine and silky. It is longest on the plumed tail. The Balinese come in the same point colors as the Siamese: seal, chocolate, blue, and lilac. The eyes are always a deep, vivid blue.
