Short description

The Bombay cat reminds of a miniature panther. She occupies a lot of her owner's attention. She is very balanced, attached and her nature is quite similar to the nature of dogs. She likes to be outdoors and likes to hunt. In case she is indoors she also needs a lot of action. If she is not satisfied she vocalizes her discomfort quite loudly. The Bombay needs mental exercises as well, but also loves to cuddle becasue she is very soft and affectionate.

This information is indicative and adheres to the breed standard. Each animal is an individual and has a personal character, as well as its own needs. Thus, a breed is not a guarantee of certain behaviors, etc.
