What are Bombay cats?
A. Bombays are a hybrid between the sable Burmese and black American Shorthair. Most Bombays are black with gold to copper eyes, however because of the hybrid we do get some sables as well. Their coats are shiny, so they are called “the patented leather kid with copper penny eyes.” As a breed they are highly domesticated, very sociable, intelligent, curious, in your face, in your lap, and in the middle of whatever you are doing. They get along with other breeds of cats and most dogs, if the dog is accustomed to cats. Kittens and adults are playful and active without being overly athletic.
