About Bombay
The Bombay is a relatively recent breed, developed in the 1950s by Nikki Horner in Kentucky, USA. Horner aimed to create a cat that resembled a 'miniature panther,' achieving this by crossing a sable Burmese with a black American Shorthair. Bombay cats are characterized by their glossy black coat, copper or gold eyes, and muscular build. They are known for their affectionate and playful personalities, often described as 'Velcro cats' due to their tendency to stick close to their owners. Bombay cats are generally healthy and make excellent companions for families and individuals alike. Their striking appearance and engaging temperament have made them a popular breed worldwide.
Size Overview
A Bombay is a sleek and captivating breed of cat, renowned for its panther-like appearance. Adult Bombay cats typically measure around 480mm in width, 260mm in height, and 480mm in length (or 48.0cm wide, 26.0cm tall). Imagine a small to medium-sized house cat; a Bombay would be about that size. They might be roughly as tall as a standard ruler laid on its side. While they won't quite fit in the palm of your hand, they're certainly a manageable size for cuddling and lap-sitting. Understanding Bombay cat dimensions helps potential owners prepare for their arrival and ensure they have a comfortable living space.
