| Do you love the beautiful and graceful Balinese breed of cat? If so, you might want to look a little further and check out the striking Javanese. In an attempt to give the Balinese a few color variations, by crossing the Balinese and the Colorpoint Shorthair, the Javanese breed was created.
Soft And Silky
The Javanese has the silky longhair coat of the Balinese and the striking colors of the Colorpoint breed. You can find this soft coated cat in Tortoiseshell point, Red point, Cream point, or Lynx point colors.
Graceful
 Fans of the Javanese cat breed love its graceful, Siamese build and its wonderful personality. This breed has an incredibly muscular body, although it is hidden by the deceptively fluffy coat that covers it. These cats also have a long, graceful tail, big ears, almond shaped eyes and a long, wedge shaped head. These lovely cats weigh in at 6 to 11 pounds.
Long-coated
With a fur coat approximately 3 inches long -- and a long and bushy tail -- Javanese breed fans say owning one gives them the enjoyment of a longhair breed without the drawbacks. To keep these silky cats mat and tangle free, and looking wonderful, a simple grooming once a week is all that is needed.
Chatty Kitty
If you want a quiet cat, you may not want to own a Javanese. It is no surprise that this is a vocal breed. After all, the chatty Siamese and the outspoken Balinese are both in the breed's background. However, if you realize that the Javanese is just trying to hold a conversation, you may find that you can happily tolerate a cat breed that is a bit noisy. After all, these cats don't actually spend all day mewling at the top of their lungs. They only talk when they need something or want to welcome their beloved family members’ home.
A True Lap Cat
The Javanese is a true lap cat and is more than happy to spend hours snuggling down beside family members. This breed will perch on shoulders, crawl under the covers, and turn itself into a living stole at every opportunity. Besides being cuddlers, these cats are also very intelligent. You can easily teach your cat to learn a few tricks, including fetch, coming when he is called, and walking on the leash.
Homebodies Needed
Since this breed is so outgoing and playful, people who are rarely at home may not want to own a Javanese. If you do decide to still choose this breed, you should consider adding a second cat to your home. Two of these active little guys will play happily together for hours. Of course, even with other cats to keep them company, they will still be waiting to greet their owners at the door.
Right Breed
The Javanese may be just the right feline for you, if you want a wonderful, sweet-natured cat, with a luxurious, soft fur coat. |
