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 Japanese Bobtail has been documented in Japanese art and folklore for over a thousand years — the famous "maneki-neko" (beckoning cat) figurine is modeled after this breed. This medium-sized, elegant breed weighs 5–10 pounds and has a lean, athletic build with high cheekbones and a distinctive pom-pom-like bobbed tail. Their silky coat comes in longhair and shorthair varieties in many colors and patterns, though the tri-color calico ("mi-ke") is the most prized in Japanese tradition.
Japanese Bobtails are active, intelligent, and remarkably talkative cats with a melodious, chirping voice that owners describe as "singing." They are social and get along well with children, other cats, and even dogs — often initiating games and play. Their confidence, curiosity, and love of human interaction make them lively, engaging companions that rarely sit still for long.
