FAQs

Why are Bombay cats special?

Bombay cats are special due to their sleek, glossy, solid black coats that extend right to the roots, including black skin on their nose, paw pads, and whiskers, giving them a distinctive 'miniature black panther' look. They have large, round copper to golden eyes, a muscular medium-sized Oriental-type body, and a smooth, rounded head. Their unique genetic background as a hybrid of Burmese and American Shorthair contributes to their striking appearance and well-balanced physique.

Are Bombay cats rare in the UK?

Yes, Bombay cats are considered rare in the UK. They are a specific breed with limited breeders and breeding complexity that results in fewer available cats compared to common black cats, often involving waiting lists. Their rarity is due to their unique breed lineage and selective breeding.

What is the difference between a Bombay cat and a generic black cat?

The primary difference lies in breed and genetic lineage; Bombay cats are a distinct breed with a solid black coat down to the roots, black skin, and copper to golden eyes, featuring a muscular, Oriental-type medium-sized body. In contrast, generic black cats can belong to any breed or mixed breed and vary widely in coat texture, eye colour, and body type. Not all black cats are Bombays, but all Bombays are black cats.

Do Bombay cats like to be picked up?

Bombay cats are known for being social, affectionate, and playful. Many enjoy close human contact and cuddle time, so while individual temperaments vary, many Bombay cats tolerate or enjoy being picked up if they have been properly socialized and accustomed to it.
