Why aren Traditional Balinese often seen at cat shows?
Over time the changing whims of the show ring have valued one body type of cat and then abandoned it for another. At the present time, most cat judges favor the modern versions of every breed, be it Balinese, Siamese, Burmese, Himalayan or Persian. The Traditional and Classic Cat International (TCCI) recognizes and actively promotes all of the traditional types because they believe that the traditional types represent more authentic and robust examples of each breed.
