Summary
About Bombay
The Bombay is a medium-sized, muscular black cat with a glossy, short coat and striking gold to copper eyes. Affectionate and people-focused, it enjoys lap time, moderate play, and soft vocal “conversations.” Intelligent and trainable, it suits indoor living and typically enjoys 12–16 years with good care.
About Cymric
The Cymric is a medium, muscular, longhaired Manx-type cat, usually tailless with a rounded, rabbit-like rump and strong hind legs. It has a plush double coat, comes in many colours, is playful, intelligent, loyal, and people-oriented, but needs careful monitoring for tail and spine issues.
