Bombay Cat

Selective focus shot of a cute black car with beautiful green eyes

History:

The Bombay cat was developed in the United States during the 1950s by breeder Nikki Horner. She crossed a black American Shorthair with a sable Burmese to create a sleek, panther-like cat with a glossy black coat and copper eyes. The breed was officially recognised in the 1970s and named after the Indian city of Bombay to evoke the image of a miniature black panther.

Breed Appearance:

The Bombay is a medium-sized, muscular cat with a rounded head and short muzzle. From the solid build to the copper-colored eyes to the rounded feet, the medium ears to the straight, medium-length tail, and the jet-black, glossy coat, the Bombay is the sleek panther of domestic cats.

Health & Care:

The Bombay is generally a healthy breed, but it can be prone to certain conditions. These include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a common heart disease in cats), respiratory issues due to their short muzzle, and potential obesity if not exercised properly. Regular weekly checks can help spot early signs of illness. Clean their ears gently with a soft cloth, avoiding cotton swabs. Since Bombay cats are active and social, provide stimulating environments like climbing trees or interactive toys to keep them fit and mentally engaged.

Living Conditions:

Even though Bombay cats enjoy human attention the most, they also appreciate the company of other pets when left alone for long hours. Having another friendly cat or pet can help meet their social needs and reduce loneliness. The Bombay cat is affectionate but can be demanding, needing time and attention. They are well-suited for both apartments and houses, especially with families who understand feline boundaries. 

To conclude, Bombay cats are adaptable, affectionate companions that thrive in homes where they are loved and engaged daily.

Grooming:

This cat breed will shed lightly throughout the year and is low maintenance compared to many others. Known for its sleek, short coat, the Bombay requires minimal grooming, though a weekly brush helps maintain shine and reduce loose hairs. Regular grooming also supports skin health and strengthens your bond with the cat.
