Oh Gawd- here we go! The new pet picture thread......
Here are mine.

Hahahaha wrong picture. Here she is.

Blue point balinese or ragdoll? My Seal point. This is #2 but #3 looks identical.

[jerrymrc]

#3 just up from a nap.

She is a ragdoll, blue point I believe.

Is yours very self sufficient? Doesn't like to be held long and if she doesn't like someone she will attack them if they come near?

Thought she was. Mine are Balinese. I had a Blue point mix Ragdoll and yours is very pretty. I will say that the feet say Ragdoll but the face..... You may have a mix that is more Siamese than Ragdoll. Ragdolls like to be in charge but are pussies. A Balinese/Siamese has no issue going after someone. The old style used to be very common. They now command big$$ and are kinda rare.

Old style Balinese have a couple of traits that are interesting to say the least. They are not afraid. You may whack one to show you are boss but they will get back at you. Affection. They love it but on there terms. Not paying attention? They have no problem giving you a little "nip" to let you know that "hey!, your hand is here,pet me." That can be a big issue with some owners.

They (unlike ragdolls) have no issue with dogs. Ragdolls always try and establish fear in dogs that does not always work out. As long as the dog is cool every Balinese I have owned gets along with them to the point of sleeping with them.

So now you have a few insights. Questions?

Sweeeet! Now check the little tramp for aids!

Glad to hear she is back. I said to myself, "I bet he found his cat by now, let's go check it out." Sure enough.

Congratulations on finding her, and more importantly for not giving up hope! There is absolutely no other feeling than the sigh of relief when you find your loved one after they've been missing for days.

Someone broke into my apartment in Boulder several years ago when I still lived there. My cat got out, couldn't have picked a better time either. It was finals time at CU in December, so naturally it was warm outside. But, as soon as she got out, a big storm rolled in. I spent 14hrs searching for her straight, performing a spiral search pattern, until I was too exhausted from the all-nighter studying and it being like 3am. Reluctantly went to bed, didn't sleep and woke up the next day to find a storm had rolled in that night and it had rained, then snowed on top of the ice. Went out and kept searching, refusing to give up. Found her right outside my apartment, maybe 50' from my door, hiding in a huge juniper bush. She was scared, frozen, wet/icy (it rained/snowed that night so she actually had bits of ice in her fur). Brought her inside, made a kitty burrito with a towel and she was purring so loudly. There was no greater feeling than to have held her for so long after such a daring venture outside. She no longer has a desire to go outside though.
