I have got mixed opinions on what breed my cat, Lily, is. The agency I bought her from said she is a siamese/himalayan. A cat expert friend of mine said she is ragdoll mix but pictures I've seen online doing research make me think that she is a balinese. Her tail & legs are the same color as her face. In the 3rd picture her head is tucked under her in a weird way so can't really see it. I just added that picture so her legs & tail are visible...I just want to know what my little girl is! :) HELP!!!

i checked out the balinese cat i was curious and had never heard of one before i think your cat looks like one but i will admit i am no cat breed expert and from what i could gather it is a type of siamese cat the site did mention ragdolls and himalayans saying that they do look simalar mainly do due to coloring but that they are in a differant breed of cat not in the same family im not totally sure what type of cat she is but she is beautiful regardless

Yes, I know, your post is hold. Anyway...
   
Dang, hard call. The Balinese and Himalayan are very similar.
   
Balinese are listed as long-haired Siamese cats, and one of your pictures shows a longer nose on your cat.
   
Some Himalayans have more pushed-in noses, and Himalayans are actually a Persian/Siamese cross.
   
If your cat's noses has a distinct Siamese look, it's probably Balinese.
   
Maybe you can email the pictures to a couple of breeders, and ask their opinion.
