Bombay Cat for sale

Bombay Cat for sale,the Bombay has the distinction of being the blackest cat in the cat fancy. Once the cat is mature, the coat is black to the root, short, tight and extremely shiny. Even the paw pads are black. It is hard to say what is more eye-catching about the Bombay: its golden eyes or its shiny black coat. The combination is striking.

The Bombay is a small, muscular cat and deceptively heavy. When you pick one up, you will be surprised at its heft. Bombays walk with a sway reminiscent of the black panther.

This breed is stocky and somewhat compact, but is very muscular with heavy boning. The Bombay is round all over. The head is round, the tips of the ears are round, the eyes, chin and even the feet are round.

The coat of the Bombay is short and glossy. When the coat is in proper condition, its deep black luster looks like patent leather.

The Bombay has a characteristic walk. Her body appears almost to sway when she walks. Again, this walk is reminiscent of the Indian black leopard.

Personality of the Bombay Cat

The lively and affectionate Bombay cats loves people and is adaptable to many different environments and lifestyles. His calm nature makes him a good apartment dweller, and he is amenable to life with other pets, although he definitely wants to be top cat.

Expect to find the Bombay hogging the warmest spot in the house. That includes under the covers at bedtime. Most will converse with their people in a distinctive but not loud voice.

Bombays are often good at playing fetch, and some have learned to walk on leash. This is a smart cat who loves to play and will thrive with a family who is willing to teach him tricks, play games with him and provide him with plenty of interactive toys.

Temperament

The Bombay cat’s personality draws a lot from its Burmese roots. The Bombay is a highly social, intelligent, people-driven cat. They form strong bonds with their family units and greatly prefer to be in the company of humans. Their playful, yet restrained nature makes them particularly good with children. They also do very well in households with other cats, as they quickly establish a pecking order within the household and live well in their place.

As a people-lover, the Bombay cat follows their human companions around a lot, observes all they do, and wants to be in the middle of as many things as possible. They are strong, agile climbers and jumpers, and they are extremely playful as younger cats. As they mature, the Bombay will mellow out some, appreciating a little couch time, but will still enjoy a game of fetch now and then.

Diet and Nutrition

Obesity is an issue for all cats. The Bombay is prone to weight gain due to its stocky build. Staying lean aids in the prevention of weight-related health issues such as diabetes and arthritis, as well as heart disease, which affects the Bombay breed at a higher rate than other breeds.

Free feeding (leaving food out all day) may result in excessive snacking and weight gain. Adult cats should instead be fed measured portions twice a day (kittens should eat three to four smaller meals per day). Inquire with your breeder or veterinarian about high-quality food for your Bombay.

Bombays can become quite eager about their food, so overeating may lead to obesity. An easy way to avoid this issue is to measure out your cat’s food and to only provide the measured amount in the bowl at a time.

We are all familiar with the saying, “curiosity killed the cat.” With Bombays being a naturally curious and social cat, it is best to keep your Bombay indoors. Not only will this decrease the risk of your cat contracting an unwanted disease, but it will also reduce other risks such as your cat running away or getting into an altercation with other animals.
