Our Award Winning Balinese

After over thirty years, CFA has finally started the path into the 21st century, when it comes to “Breeds” or rather different variations of the same breed. Hair length and color are not a breed. Nor are Blacks, Hispanics and Caucasians a different species, but the different variations of the same group. CFA now allows Balinese and Javanese to be together and show divisionally rather than disqualify one or the other for not being the right color. With the addition of Pointed Oriental longhair we now have a tri-fecta of genes to work with. If the Balinese breeders and the CFA Board can actually look past any B.S. we may someday merge them together and be a stronger gene pool for it. Pet buyers may ask what this might have to do with them; well, everything really. Health for one. None of us want a cat that spends time and money at the vet because it is sick, do we? The bigger and more diverse the gene pool the better we all are. At Clowntown Cattery we work at keeping all inbreeding coefficients under 3%. We are also aware of lines that have problems and never double back on them, no matter how far away it may be. If a breeder cannot tell you the inbreeding coefficient, or refuses to, don’t buy their kitten. If they don’t know, they are not a professional. If it is over 7% run, don’t walk, as fast as you can; you do not want it! Kittens are available from time to time, but to ensure the cat’s health, and working towards a beautiful show cat, I outcross to shorthairs or variants (cats that carry longhair) This produces cats that are not allowed to be shown in CFA, but they will produce the next generation of longhaired Balinese and Javanese. This keeps the boning and refinement that the longhairs have trouble getting. So, I don’t always have a longhaired pet for sale. I do usually have shorthaired Javanese and Balinese kittens, which look and act just like their cousins the Siamese.

Grand Mother to GC BW RW Clowntown’s Come Blow Your Horn
Red’s first breeding was out to a Siamese male who was over 10 yrs old. She produced a pretty Shorthaired Blue Pt Balinese female named Clowntown’s Ms Torie Too, named after both her mother and father. Per CFA rules she could not be shown. So she is the mother of 2011-2012 CFA’s Best Balinese this year.

Red is the Sire of many grand champions and he is still siring today. At 12 1/2 years old he is producing some of his best offspring. He can put ears on most any female’s kittens. Today, with the gene pool so small, we cannot afford to retire a healthy stud. His father lived as a stud until he was fifteen and I am sure Red will last at least that long also! His kittens are healthy and loving; you can’t beat that combination! Red has Kittens all over the USA and in Europe.
