Balinese Cat Breed ProfilePersonality The Balinese cat is also known as the Javanese cat. This breed of cat is a very loving gentle breed. Balineses are playful and have lots of mischief about them. Be sure to provide your Balinese with lots of toys, because they love toys and also love to fetch! Family/Child Friendly Javanese cats get along well with other pets and children. They crave human attention and love to use children as playmates if another pet playmate isn't available. Lifespan and Weight The average lifespan of a Balinese is around 10 to 14 years. However, with the advancement of veterinary medicine, pets have been known to live 20 years and even longer. The average weight of a Balinese is around 7 to 9 lbs. Common Diseases Fortunately, the diseases prone to Balinese cats are few and far between. The only diseases I found were weak hind legs and nasal problems.
