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 Manx hails from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, where its signature taillessness has been documented since at least the 18th century. A sturdy, medium-sized cat weighing 8–12 pounds, the Manx has a round head, prominent cheeks, and powerful hind legs that sit noticeably higher than the front — giving it a distinctive rabbit-like hop. The double coat comes in virtually every color and pattern, from solid white to classic tabby, and ranges from short (Manx) to semi-long (Cymric variant).
Manx cats are playful, dog-like companions that often learn to fetch and come when called. They bond deeply with their families and tend to be protective — some owners report their Manx growling at unfamiliar sounds. They generally get along well with children and other pets, though they may pick one favorite person to shadow throughout the day.
If a loyal, playful companion with a unique silhouette sounds like your perfect match, explore Manx cats available for adoption on Puplister today.
