The Bombay is a stunning, incredibly affectionate, and highly athletic breed famously described as a "patent leather kid with new penny eyes." Purposely bred to look exactly like a miniature black panther, they possess a sleek, pitch-black coat and brilliant copper eyes, making them an immensely popular cat breed.
The Bombay is the ultimate "Velcro cat," forming an intense, clingy bond with their family. They are highly intelligent, notoriously vocal, and absolutely demand to be the center of attention. Fierce, jungle-inspired cat names are very fitting. Essential pet care requires immense amounts of interactive playtime and absolute protection from cold weather; they are notorious heat-seekers and suffer greatly from separation anxiety if left alone.
