Take one Balinese, dip in the colors of the rainbow and you have a Javanese.
The Javanese is everything that is Balinese, and then some ... the intelligence,
grace and refinement of the Siamese, the luxurious silk of the Balinese coat,
combined with the designer colors of the Colorpoint Shorthair.
Named for the next island over from Bali, Javanese have been around for about
as long as the Balinese. Some appeared in litters of Colorpoint Shorthairs, most
likely a result of the longhair gene being introduced via the domestic shorthair
when the red, lynx and tortie point colors and patterns were first introduced to
the Siamese breed. Most are the result of Balinese breeders using the Colorpoint
Shorthair to introduce these colors and patterns into the Balinese breed. The
Javanese were finally accepted by CFA for championship competition as of May
1986. The Javanese standard is identical to that of the Balinese - a cat of
Siamese type with long flowing coat, the only difference being in the colors
accepted for championship.
The Javanese is a breed for folks who want a little spice in their lives. A
study of contradictions - elegant refinement, sometimes fragile in appearance in
reality hard and muscular with surprising strength. The slender lines and
flowing coat hide a rock hard body capable of amazing feats of acrobatic
proportions. Highly intelligent, they become familiar with their human's
routine.
They will "talk", gently reminding when you are late with meals or play time,
joyously greeting you whenever you have been away. As a rule, the Javanese voice
is softer and gentler than the Siamese. They use their paws like little hands to
open cabinets and drawers in search of a favorite toy they saw you hide. Many
"fetch", but never delude yourself that you taught them this game. In reality,
they have cleverly taught you how to throw. Easy to care for, their coats never
mat and tend to shed less than the Siamese or Colorpoints, truly a "lazy man's
longhair" - an occasional combing and bath to refresh the sensuous silky
texture.
