ALL PETS NEED GOOD QUALITY, HEALTHY FOOD regardless of whether they’re a Bombay cat!!!(The latter is regarding your “expensive food” for Bombay cats, comment.)

JUST GOT MY FIRST CAT - 7 MONTH OLD BOMBAY : She has changed my life. So loving, smart, and bloody ninjas!

Anybody who has a Bombay should be prepared for daily conversations with your cat. I have 1 and my mom's had 3. All very vocal when they want attention

Bombay cats are SO chatty. Whenever I get home, my Bombay cat loves to trot up to me and start meowing and following me around until I can sit down so she can crawl into my lap. They’re sweethearts.

I've had two Bombay cats. They looked like little panthers and were muscular. They passed at 15 and 16 years old. They were affectionate and very good with people. I've never had a problem with them and miss them dearly. 🖤🐈‍⬛

Unless you cant give them time and attention theres no reason not to love a Bombay, theyre a bit more like a dog in how theyll follow you around and somehow youll end up knowing what theyre frequent vocalizations mean... YES, im saying I understand my Bombay, lol

For reasons I cannot explain a beautiful Bombay came into my life as a stray! I knew immediately she was a special breed. She simply would not leave my yard so I took her as my own. I named her Blacka. She was fearless. One time two dogs entered our yard. She ambushed them, hopped on the back of one and rode it jockey style all the way out of my yard while clinging with her claws. When she was satisfied with how far from my yard they were she hopped off the dog and did a slow sinuous stroll back to my yard. One time she attacked my husband’s legs as he walked in the yard. After that he named her “The Blade”. I loved her dearly. I miss her to this day.

My bombay whines and talks for hours when I’m working, but I fell in love with him immediately from all the affection, so I put up with him. He also yowls at the door when he’s ready for his walk. He took to a leash instantly and loves daily outdoor time.

My Bombay was feral. He’d sit on a rock outside in the yard and squeak at us. Slowly we started feeding him and he drew closer…finally, after a few weeks he let me touch him…that was quite an evening. Since then he has come inside, sleeps with us and will accept affection from us anytime. He is a gorgeous cat. How lucky I got to adopt a Bombay in the neighborhood! I’ve never seen such an intelligent cat. He’s like a dog…follows me around…likes sitting with my husband and I out on the porch. It makes him so content. I can’t recommend this strain of cat enough. They have great personalities.

I had no idea this cat was a Bombay. I went to the shelter to find a cat and Midnight was in the room with feline leukemia positive cats. I live alone with no other pets so I figured it would be fine to deal with the feline leukemia. The vet said to try re-testing her in 9 months, since a healthy cat may be able to fight off a mild + infection and I also researched it and the in-house test they use has a lot of False positives. It was my girlfriend who saw Miss Midnight and said " Oh, you have a panther!" I looked it up and I was surprised that these kittens are very expensive to buy and rare. She is 8 years old and I cannot imagine someone giving her up to a shelter, but she fits all the descriptions. She is the most affectionate and smart cat I have ever had! True story, I paid extra money to have her bloodwork sent out for the more definitive feline leukemia test and it came back NEGATIVE, so she is super healthy and beautiful. And you are right, she is in my face-- literally-- if I am slow waking up in the morning, she puts her face right up to mine and starts purring and licking my face, even tries to nuzzle under the covers when I try to hide my head to get a few more moments of sleep! Midnight is active and playful, but I agree, this cat is not for someone who wants one of those aloof, independent cats. They crave affection and cannot seem to get enough. Which is fine with me, lol.

My muscular male Bombay loves when we’re home, hates when we’re gone. Love that big black panther!

[danp.torreja]

We got the British bombay cat from the shelter. I can say, first time in my life that I have loved a cat. Active, smart, affectionate, liked to be cuddled, greeted me when I came home. What else can I say for a perfect "mini panther" cat❤️😊

[michelepinsky]

I had a Bombay for 16 years.
My Bombat shed less than any cats I've ever owned.

I have a black rescue cat. I have no idea what breed he is but he acts like a Bombay cat. He is very devoted to my dad. Follows him around all the time and is never far from him. If dad is gone for a day or more, Spooky will get mad and ignore dad for a few hours before coming around to purr and rub on him. If dad is gone for an hour, Spooky will come in my room and be with me, since he needs to be with someone. Spooky is not a lap cat but he is a sit next to you cat.

He's also very stocky and robust, but he's not small. He also sheds like crazy. I think he's likely part Bombay verse full-blooded.

My Bombay tomcat is by far the best companion I've had so far. He is playful, smart and chatty. He even learned how to open doors though he is only 1 year old. I didn't even know he was a specific breed when I found it hidden in the engine bay of my car 10 months ago. I thought he was a stray black kitten. I just took him home and it turned out to be the best decision for both of us. I found out that he is a Bombay at the vet, but even if he weren't, I would still love him just as much.

I take care of an stray Bombay and he loves his scratches. He talks and talk when he walks up to greet me and purs when he’s comfortable. But he is SUPER LAZYY and loves his distance

[NoLa]

Bombay is a fun cat with a mix behavior of goat, dog, human, and cat. Fun, affectionate, and wall climber. Half the time, he is standing on two feet, trying to climb a wall or jumping in the air playing with his toy!! The bombay is playful and fun. Love mine. Highly recommend. He is not boring.

I have a Bombay, she just came ambling down the road into my life one day (I live in the country). She purred her way into my heart and now we are inseparable, one of the best cats I've ever had. But then I live in the country and have plenty of land for her to go outside. Even then, she follows me around like a dog and we're best buddies. I love her so much. ( By the way I don't find her particularly picky about food and her coat is shining and beautiful)

I’m amazed how some people got their Bomies from either a shelter, it was given to them, or a stray! If I could be so fortunate, it’s my dream 🐈‍⬛ 😊
