Javanese cats are named after the island of Java. Javanese result from a genetic accident resulting in Siamese with long hair. Javanese have a single coat, rather than the double coat more common in long haired cats, which makes grooming easier. Javanese are not as vocal as Siamese Cats. Javanese do not have the traditional color combinations of Siamese; long haired Siamese with traditional coloring are called Balinese. (The island of Bali is next to the island of Java.)
