The Bombay cat is a modern breed, bred by American breeders in 1958 by crossbreeding Burmese cats (Black Shao cats) and American black shorthair cats. Because of its appearance similar to that of an Indian cheetah, it was named after the Indian city of Bombay.
The Bombay cat not only retains the color of the American Shorthair cat, but also looks like a Burmese cat. It has a unique color - black, which is slightly lighter in kittens and a solid black color in adult cats. The fur is short and shiny, and it is called the "little black panther". Bombay kittens develop very slowly, and there are often tiger stripes on their fur. The eye color of the kitten is the same as that of other kittens. It is blue at birth, then turns gray, and finally turns into gold or deep copper, flashing charming light from time to time, so it is also called Mona Lisa and Mini Ponza. In 1976, the Bombay cat was selected as the champion by the Cat Lovers Association.
Although the Bombay cat looks like a small black panther, its personality is the opposite of its appearance. The Bombay cat has a gentle and gentle personality, is stable and quiet, but it is not afraid of strangers and often becomes the receptionist of visitors; it is emotional, easy to get along with children, likes to be intimate with people, and will keep purring with satisfaction when being hugged. Therefore, this beautiful black kitten is deeply loved by people and is a good companion for humans. At the same time, the Bombay cat is very sociable and easy to integrate into the surrounding environment. It can also get along well with dogs, but it may not be able to get along with other cats. Bombay cats are easy to train and they love to play toss and catch games. It likes to be with people, so it should not be neglected for a long time.
