Bombay Cat Breed Profile

 

 

Breed profile written by  Nunya  Zimmer of Exquisite Cats.

History of the Bombay Cat:

These beautiful Black cats were created by crossing a Burmese with a Black British or American Short-Hair. Once the dominant Black colour is present breeders only out cross to Burmese to get body type and a tight close lying coat. A distinctive feature of the Bombay is their large copper eyes.

There are two types of Bombay's, the American (who has inherited  health problems know as "Craniofacial Defect"). This disorder affects the development of the skull in the foetus and results in newborns with this disorder being euthanatized at birth. The "Australian Bombay" however has no such hereditary problems and are very healthy robust cats.

Bombay Cat Personality:

The Bombay is often called the 'Mini Panther'. The Bombay is a purr-sonality plus cat, just like the Burmese. They are full of energy yet at the same time highly affectionate.

They are intelligent, actively seek interaction with humans and love to play games. Many retrieve and do tricks. Some have been successfully leash-trained. Like Burmese, Bombay's are heat-seekers, and often like to sleep under the bedcovers. Bombay's  have a voice that is distinctive, but not as loud or harsh as the Siamese voice. Some individuals are quite talkative, but others rarely vocalize.

They are best kept inside, away from traffic & wildlife. Bombay cats are said to be great cats for apartment owners and people with other pets, cats/dogs. Bombay's are sleek black stunning looking cats who will win the heart of all those they meet.
