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 Singapura claims origins on the streets of Singapore — though its exact history is debated — and was brought to the United States in the 1970s. Recognized as the world's smallest domestic cat breed, the Singapura weighs a mere 4–8 pounds and has an unmistakable look: large, saucer-like eyes lined in dark "eyeliner," oversized ears on a small rounded head, and a short, fine coat in only one accepted color — sepia agouti (warm ivory ticked with dark brown).
Singapuras are perpetual kittens — curious, energetic, and mischievous well into old age. They adore being the center of attention and will perch on your shoulder, supervise your cooking, and insert themselves into every activity. Friendly and social, they do well with children and other pets but may overwhelm more reserved cats with their constant energy.
