Which cat breed is right for you?
The Bombay was created in the 1950s by breeder Nikki Horner in Louisville, Kentucky, who crossed sable Burmese with black American Shorthairs to produce a cat resembling a miniature black panther. This medium-sized breed weighs 6–11 pounds and has a compact, muscular build with a sleek, jet-black coat. Every feature is black — from their glossy, patent-leather-like fur to their nose leather and paw pads — contrasted only by their striking copper or gold eyes.
Bombays are outgoing, attention-loving cats that thrive on being the center of their family's world. They are remarkably adaptable and get along well with children, dogs, and other cats — often becoming the social director of the household. Their intelligence and trainability make them excellent candidates for learning tricks, and they are known for greeting visitors at the door.

The Havana Brown was developed in 1950s England by crossing chocolate-point Siamese with black domestic cats, creating a breed distinguished by its rich, warm mahogany-brown coat. This medium-sized breed weighs 6–10 pounds and has a distinctive muzzle that is noticeably wider than it is long — giving the head a unique "corn cob" shape when viewed from above. Their glossy, short coat is uniformly chocolate brown, complemented by vivid green eyes, brown whiskers, and rosy-brown nose leather and paw pads.
Havana Browns are charming, people-oriented cats that use their paws to investigate and reach out to touch their owners — a behavior unique to this breed. They are moderately active, enjoy interactive play, and are gentle enough for families with children. They tend to bond closely with one particular person while remaining friendly with the rest of the household.
The rare and captivating Havana Brown is a true treasure — search for adoptable cats on Puplister.
