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 Munchkin
