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 Nebelung
The Nebelung is a medium, semi‑longhaired blue cat with a silky, silver‑tipped coat and vivid green eyes. Calm, loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with chosen people, prefers quiet homes, sheds little for its coat length, and enjoys gentle play, routine and thoughtful handling.
