Cats and Dogs: Bombay
To get an idea of the look of the Bombay, just think of a small version of the Black Panther. The Bombay cat comes in one colour only – black. Imagine the deepest, darkest, midnight black you can and you will have an idea of the colour of this cat’s coat.
The tight, short coat has a shiny, glossy sheen to it that makes grooming easy. A brushing once a week to remove loose hair is all that is needed to keep the coat in top condition.
This cat breed is medium sized and well-muscled. The ears are medium sized and set well apart. The head is rounded with large wide-set eyes. The Bombay cat’s eyes can be rich gold or copper coloured and makes for a stunning contrast to the black coat.
The Bombay breed standards call for brilliant copper eyes but as this is a very hard colour to achieve, gold is accepted as well.
The Bombay is an easy-going, inquisitive and loving cat that loves to play and play some more. They are very people-orientated and will greet you and any visitors at the door.
This cat breed simply loves to be around people and does not do well on its own. If properly integrated, the Bombay cat gets along well with other pets such as dogs and because of its loving nature, is the perfect cat to have with children.
