Black Bombay Cat

Black Bombay Cat

The black Bombay cat owes its origin to a Kentucky breeder

In 1958, he crossed Brown Burmese with black American Shorthairs

His goal was to associate the look of the Burmese with the black of the American Shorthair

The avowed intention was to make this cat resemble a miniature black panther

The name of this breed comes from the Indian city,

Because black panthers are relatively common in this region

The Black Bombay remains rather rare,

Surprising given its dazzling appearance and pleasant nature

This cat grows quite slowly:

It takes up to four years for its hair to turn black to the roots

Its dense, short and shiny dress has the luster of patent leather
