The Bombay: Charming and Striking Companions
Features and Facts
Appearance
Bombays have a medium to large body with a muscular and well-proportioned structure. They have a short, dense coat that is shiny black and often compared to the gloss of a black panther. Their round head features large, golden or copper-colored eyes that create a contrasting and expressive face.
Personality
Bombays are known for their friendly, affectionate, and social nature. They are often very affectionate towards their owners and can form strong bonds with their family. Bombays are generally playful and energetic, enjoying interaction and play with people. They are often social with other pets and can get along well with children.
Grooming
The short coat of the Bombay generally requires minimal grooming. Occasional brushing helps remove loose hair and keep the coat in good condition. Additionally, regular nail trimming and ear checks for dirt are important.
Health
Overall, Bombays are healthy cats, but like all breeds, they may be susceptible to certain health issues such as dental problems and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Regular veterinary check-ups are important for their health.

Life Expectancy
Bombays usually have a fairly long life expectancy, often between 12 and 16 years, sometimes even longer with good care and a healthy lifestyle.
