I also love blue eyes. I had a traditional Siamese female which I got from a shelter when a young woman – my son’s cat, who became my cat. She lived to more than 18 years of age despite diabetes and glaucoma. So it was natural to turn to the Siamese breed group to look for a blue-eyed girl to join my cattery. I found that girl in TASSAM Violetta, named for her beautiful blue-violet eyes.

Are Balinese the pets for me?

Balinese cats, whether long or short-haired, make the perfect pets for people who like "velcro" cats, the kind that follow you around the house, talking much of the time, and really really must be with their beloved owners. There is nothing in the world like being loved by a Balinese!
