Javanese - cat breed

Follow
One Great World

The Javanese, also known as the Colorpoint Longhair in some registries, is a variety of purebred domestic cat. It is an Orientaltype, the longhaired equivalent of the Colorpoint Shorthair.
The variety was developed in North America; its name is derived from the tradition of naming Orientaltype cats after Southeast Asian places. It is an offshoot of the Balinese breed, outcrossed to Siamese and Colorpoint Shorthair, and often having coat patterns not acceptable in those breeds. Individuals may or may not have point coloration.

Depending on the cat registry in question, it may be treated as a standalone breed, considered a Javanese division of the Balinese, or subsumed with the Himalayan into a merged breed called simply Colourpoint. Confusingly, one registry applies Javanese to a different breed.
