They are relatively small Cats, even they are adults and completed there growing period. An adult male Bombay Cat’s weight is around 8 to 11 pounds and adult female’s weight is between 6 and 9 pounds. They can be recognized easily because they have a very silky black coated skin. They have very round heads and a heavy face. There eyes are rounded and wide similar to most other Cats. They have very short coat lies to their body and require no grooming at all. Bombay Cats reach sexual maturity quickly but they grow slower than others. For example, a male Bombay Cat reaches to his full muscular development when it is 2 years old. They typically don’t require grooming because they have a short coat which stays close to their body. A brush can be used to keep their coat extra clean and shiny. What do Bombay Cats eat is different from a cat’s behavior. Some cats only eat special cat food and other can eat whatever you provide them. Breeders use only food enriched with quality vitamins. Mostly they can eat freely without gaining weight but some becomes overweight. Bombay Cats can be distinguished into two broad categories. i.e;British Bombay Cats and American Bombay Cats. British Bombay Cats are the Asian black cats. They are of Burmese type. They have black coat, toes, copper to greenish eyes and black toes. American Bombay Cats were created in 1958 by breeding of American Shorthair and a Burmese in a hope of a cat resembling a panther. It was a successful attempt and the American Bombay Cats looks like wild panther of India. American Bombay Cats also have sleek black coats, similar to British Bombay Cats, and often confused with British Bombay Cats because of the same reason. American Bombay Cats mostly have orange eyes and hence the way to differentiate between the two.
