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 Khao Manee
The Khao Manee is an ancient Thai “White Gem” cat with a pure white coat and vivid eyes, often odd‑colored. Medium, athletic and graceful, it is sociable, vocal, intelligent and playful, bonding closely with people. Still rare, breeders emphasize health, hearing tests and diversity.
