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 Thai — also known as the Traditional Siamese or Old-Style Siamese — represents the original, moderate body type of Siamese cats as they existed before Western breeders developed the extreme, wedge-headed modern Siamese. Weighing 6–12 pounds, the Thai has a gently rounded head, medium-sized ears, a muscular yet elegant body, and the classic colorpoint pattern with brilliant blue eyes. Point colors include seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, and various tabby and tortie points.
Thai cats share the Siamese's intelligence, loyalty, and vocal nature but tend to be slightly less extreme in their demands. They are deeply social, forming strong bonds with every family member rather than fixating on a single person. Playful and curious, they love interactive games and conversation, and they get along beautifully with children and other pets.
