These attention-craving cats are gentle and do well with children and other pets.
Breed Overview
Originating during the 1950s, the Bombay cat was created to be a Burmese cat but with sleek black fur and copper eyes. These playful and active cats enjoy attention and in return, are very affectionate to their owners. They are quite intelligent and independent and get along very well with children, and are quite compatible with other pets. The Bombay cat is also gentle and polite in their ways when trying to gain attention. They are ideal companions for families with children, first time cat owners, multiple pet households, and singles with other pets. Grooming requirements are minimal.
