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 Minskin is a relatively new breed developed in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 1990s by crossing Munchkin, Sphynx, Burmese, and Devon Rex cats. This tiny, short-legged cat typically weighs just 4–6 pounds and stands only a few inches tall. The Minskin's most striking feature is its unique coat — sparse and fine on the body with denser "fur points" on the face, ears, legs, and tail, giving it a cashmere-like texture.
Minskins are outgoing, affectionate little cats that thrive on human interaction and hate being left alone. They are surprisingly agile despite their short legs and love to climb, explore, and play well into adulthood. Their social nature makes them excellent companions for families with children and other pets.
