Bombay Characteristics and Temperament

The Bombay is a medium-sized, compact and muscular cat, surprisingly heavy for its size. Its short jet-black coat is dense and brilliant with a satiny texture. Its large round eyes range from deep copper to gold, creating a striking contrast. The Bombay is an extremely affectionate and sociable cat, often described as a "velcro cat" that follows its family everywhere and constantly seeks physical contact.

Intelligent and curious, the Bombay easily learns tricks and can be trained to walk on a leash. It adapts perfectly to apartment living in Montreal, Laval or Gatineau and gets along with children, other cats and dogs. With a life expectancy of 12 to 16 years, the Bombay is a warm and devoted companion that brings exotic flair and plenty of love to Quebec homes.
