About the Bombay
The Bombay is a medium-sized, short-haired cat breed developed to resemble a miniature black panther. It is known for its striking, jet-black coat that is fine, satin-like, and glossy, and its stunning large, round eyes that range from gold to deep copper. The breed is muscular and surprisingly heavy for its size, with a distinctive rounded head and a friendly, outgoing personality.
