Balinese cat

The Balinese cat is rated the highest in intelligence of all the long-haired breeds, rated 9-10.

Balinese cats rarely scratch when irritated, but they moan and growl and sometimes hiss.

Common genetic defects are shared with the "Balinese Cat" and the "Siamese Cat".

The Balinese is extremely similar to the Javanese; all non-pointed Balinese cats are considered Javanese.

This led eventually to the development of two entirely separate "strands" of Balinese cat - some owners prefer a traditional or "apple-headed" Balinese, while breeders and judges tend to prefer a more contemporary "wedge-head" appearance.

The film centers on a rural Kansas family and their pets-a Great Dane named Marmaduke (voiced by Owen Wilson) and a Balinese cat named Carlos (voiced by George Lopez)-as the family relocates to California.
