This breed of cat is absolutely perfect for any cat lover who adored the Balinese, but wished it was offered in more colors. The Javanese acquired its silky and luxurious coat from the Balinese and the variety of colors such as Tortoiseshell point, Red point, Cream point, or Lynx point from the colorful Colorpoint.

Cat Fancier’s who adore this breed, are thrilled with its graceful Siamese traits as well as its sweet-natured personality. The physical characteristics of this breed include an incredibly muscular body, long elegant tail, long, wedge shaped head which adorns almond shaped eyes and large prominent ears.

Grooming
It is difficult to see at first glance, just how muscular this breed is as its thick, silky coat which averages about three inches in length tends to hide it very well. The length of the hair on the tail is actually slightly longer, but the grooming regiment is quite simple as this breed is known for having hair that is not susceptible to gnarling or matting. The Javanese is a modestly sized cat, weighing in at around six to eleven pounds on average.

With the Javanese having such a silky coat that is known for repelling tangles and matt’s, cat lovers agree that owning a Javanese is like owning a longhaired breed with the extra added luxury of not dealing with the longhair problems. A regular grooming regiment of once a week to remove any loose hair and dander should be all that is necessary in keeping this breeds coat silky, smooth and shiny.

Behavior and Characteristics
Being a distant relative of the chatty Siamese, the Javanese is quite happy to hold a conversation with its owners only to display a need or want for something. Known as a cuddler, this breed is more than happy to spend the day snuggled in its owners lap, and then later cuddled up close under the bed sheets for a good nights rest. Not only is the Javanese an affectionate cat, it is also highly intelligent. This breed is more than willing and capable of learning tricks such as fetch, walking on a leash and coming when his name is called.

The Javanese is a family loving cat, so for anyone spending long hours away from home, may want to consider an alternative breed. However, if your heart is set on owning one of these playful creatures, adding a second one to the home will keep your Javanese company, while also giving him someone to play with for hours. Just remember, the Javanese is a people loving cat and will probably be waiting to voice a friendly hello when you return home.

If you’re looking for a colorful, silky coated cat with a loving, playful affectionate personality, you may want to consider looking at the beautiful Javanese.
