Not a “cat person”..(Just lost my Doberman). One day @ shelter w. my usual pet food donation, stopped to chat w. a couple…a paw began tapping on my shouder..I turned & was face to face w. a gorgeous Bombay (whose owner had just passed away). Loki has been with me for 3 years now…best companion ever. ❤❤❤
I’m adopting a bombay named loki this week… 😂 I was specifically looking for a female black cat, preferably a bombay, and was gonna rename it Loki. The first post I saw on a pet adoption site was a female black bombay named Loki… it was meant to be and I can’t wait to get her home!!!
This video is really accurate. I just lost my Bombay of 15 years to cancer, and she would always help make the bed by jumping on top of the sheets. Once we had 14 guests and she walked around and introduced herself to each one of them separately. I work from home and she was my constant companion. I have never had a cat who would go out for the long bomb and catch it when you threw it! After she died, we sent her to the Cryonics Institute and I hope to see her again someday. When it is time, I will find another Bombay to rescue, they are just the best friend you could ever want. Vaya con Dios...
I am sorry for your loss bc of my adhd and attention span i didn't read all of it but I really wanna get a bombay cat but already have an orange 2 brain cell fucker called zimba that attacks my other cat sometimes my sister is taking the other cat so i thought: why not replace it with my favorite cat breed? The bombay! But will he like it with another cat?
@@Runco990My case is similar, the only difference is that I am 36. She was my daughter, she was 16 yrs old and cancer took her 2 months ago. The pain is tol much💔💔
My 16 yrs old daughter was a bombay, the most beautiful black shiny fur. She sadly passed two months ago and my heart aches every day. I loved her so much, I will always love her 💔💔❤️
Our Bombay is so smart. She mimics English words like “hello” with her meows and brings the kids dirty clothes to me when she wants a treat (we thank her for doing the laundry). She is the best.
We adopted our Bombay from a shelter and he was a “clearance” kitty because he had already been there since birth and hadn’t been adopted so they moved him from the main adoptable cat area to the hallway of last chances (that’s what we call it at least). We knew he was the cat we were looking for the moment we got to see him. He wanted to be in our arms and even gave me a nose kiss. His name is Salem and he’s gonna be 4 in two months. He is the smartest little man I’ve ever met. We knew he looked different from other black cats and his fur is just the silkiest. He spends his day being my shadow and has to be apart of everything I’m doing wether it be cooking, cleaning, or making soaps he has to have his special chair to sit in and watch. He learned how to open doors because he wanted to be with his new twin baby sisters and didn’t appreciate being locked out because he wanted to play. He is a Bombay to the bone in behavior and loves chatting but needs to be the center of attention. Just goes to show that animal shelters are the best places to find wonderful, smart, and gorgeous cats. We have a Nebelung and a Russian blue who look purebred. Of course we also have our oldest we got at 9 yrs old whose a calico tabby mix. She’s scruffy from a hard life but good company. If you want a cat like a Bombay always check your local shelters, they really have beautiful cats who needs homes.
This is my husband's account lol But Wow, this sounds just like our story! We wanted a black kitten to be bff's with our new rescue orange tabby kitten, Ziggy. We went to a shelter adoption event and looked at several black kittens, but when we held the last one, he cuddled up to me and started to purr and rub his face on mine. It was like he was meant for us. We named him Salem and he just turned 5 months old. Being that I have had one other black cat and my mother had a black cat, I could tell this was something different about this kitten. I started doing some research and he is DEFINITELY a Bombay! I just love him, his demeanor is so sweet and loving! He was the perfect addition to our family!
Omfg...shut ur mouth.....lol! 😲😲😲 I have a nebelung long hair russian blue (oliver) and a british bombay cat (julius) too!! Lol nebelungs and bombays must be an inconic duo seen them couple times in vids. What are the odds i thought i picked two unique breeds to bond with lol.
My Bombay is a rescue, took me 2 weeks to catch him, then one day I saw a man kicking at him, I got him that evening 😢 he's so lovable and smart, and talks all the time 😊😅 Black 🐈⬛🖤 cats are the BEST ❤️
Adopted my Bombay when her hind legs were broken. Crowd funded and got her surgery and took her in. She’s amazing I love her! Patient, tolerant! And very loyal ❤ never regretted my choice 😊
A neighbor put this beautiful animal out in the streets because he was in heat.😢 He's been sleeping in my yard and feral house since March. I feed him twice every day. Now that it has gotten cold in Chicago, I couldn't let him be out there in the cold. So I brought him in, got him neutered, and now trying to introduce him to my other cats. He is so beautiful!! Looks like a little black panther. We named him Onxy
We heard a small meow while in our backyard. My wife called and a small black (Bombay) kitten hopped the fence and has been with us ever since. He’s such a great cat and very smart. He playfully “attacks” my wife but he follows me everywhere. “AJ” Is part of the family now.
Love love LOVE my Bombay. She immediately bonded with me at our shelter. She was 4 months and the most sociable baby. Great with dogs, cats, walking on leash, backpack travels, etc from the jump. She's a year now and she's incredible! I sit and type as she sleeps on my legs. Personality down to a T in this video. Her black beans are my favorite too! One of the most intelligent cats I have ever met.
Got me one of those from the local shelter. He was listed as a domestic shorthair but, yup, he's a Bombay with all those characteristics. A quality cat. I can recommend them. I taught mine to fetch and he brings his mouse back in his mouth and drops it at my feet. 🏆
My Bombay was a rescue from Kuwait of all places. Highly intelligent and has a great disposition. I call him the "stud muffin" because everyone thinks he is so strikingly beautiful.
We got our cat from a cat foster care. She is a Bombay through and through. I've never had a cat that wanted so much playtime and loves people so much. Such a special cat breed
We adopted two black kitties from the Human Society. Little did we know they are Bombay! They are so lovable. Everything this video said is right on point. I agree 💯
Oh my good golly gosh, Bombay cats are my very favorite cat! I had a thing for black cats for many years now and that would only be more confirmed when I started cat sitting a fifteen year old female Bombay! She gave me unconditional kitty cuddles during one of my lowest points of my life! She is now NINETEEN years old, and she is still the love of my life! Nanny loves you always, Little Girl!
I’ve had my Kitty since 12 weeks old and Jynx is amazing!! He’s 7 now and I’m absolutely sold on a male Bombay being in my life forever. He really was so perfect for me because my family is all dog people so he truly fits right in! He’s also lived and moved hundreds of miles with me and will never leave my side. He’s amazing ❤
I have one and his nam is Rocky. I got him when he was 7 weeks old. I taught him fetch,turn in a circle, & stand on his back paws to get his temptations treat. He follows me everywhere. I remember the first day I got him he would be playful and when he got tired he would get on my shoulder and fall asleep.
I just got a Bombay couple months ago. He is about 4 months old. Rescue!Smartest cat I’ve ever had. So smart a little wary of me at 1st so I was taken back. Thought I got the wrong cat. I’m used to cats that perch and are needy and being love hogs. Not as much of a percher but extra needy. He wants all the attention at all times or he is watching me like a weirdo. Just an amazing lover he is. Really good with my kids and whippet hound in the fam. Mellow most of the time with a hunger you gotta watch. He always wants to eat. Short and chunky with a long tail. Those eyes. I can’t see him in the dark until his eyes are open. You can’t tell what is what even on a white background until he opens his eyes. Very freaky but gentle cats. Most gentle of any cat I’ve ever had. The play bites are so obvious with I lick on the end to let you know he is joking. Just don’t cross the freak! Seriously.
Our Bombay cat adopted us! She came up on our deck & wouldn’t leave. We tried everything to find an owner. She was only about 4 months old the vet said. So we brought her into home… her forever home! She is wonderful!!! She visits each family member repeatedly all day!🥰 We wonder… where did a pure bred Bombay stray come from? We are very thankful she chose us to be her forever home!🥰
The first kitten I ever raised is a Bombay. She’s 1.5 years old and is the sweetest cat in the world. She just takes a bit of time to warm up to people.
My black boy is a rescue his mum passed away of covid I have no idea what breed he is but the most beautiful black cat with yellow eyes he’s around 10 yrs old I just couldn’t be without him
We love our Bombay. We rescued him from the outside snow about 2 years ago while he was a kitten. He's chosen me as him human, but very good cat. Loves to cuddle, follows me from room to room, extremely loyal cat. Great with our 5 year old, and other cats, though he does have to be center of attention and will definitely let you know when he wants attention. Aside from my Bengal mix, whom is pretty much the same way, very quickly earned spot as my favorite type of cat to own
One thing not mentioned is how talkative they are! When I walked into the shelter there was forlorn tiny black thing. He looked up at me and gave me a meow like “please 🙏 help me ❤”. Ok! I adopted 2 black babies that day. He started to talk about 4 months and hasn’t shut up since 😅. Taught him to fetch and give paw. He loves me and only me but he does hide when someone visits. I think it’s because he was born feral and is very high strung. He has his own sleeping spots. He’s 11 now and one of the great loves of my life ❤❤
Everything and I really mean everything in this video is EXACTLY my Laramine who is a rescue. He is like a human in his affection and obedience. He is overweight but recently he is on a strict diet. Thanks for letting me know I have an American Bombay cat. I subbed today because this channel helped me uncover great stuff. Peace out...
My Bombay showed up one day at my home around six months of age. Nobody in the neighborhood knew where he came from. I adopted him and the vet did the rest. He created quite a stir and became somewhat of a celebrity in our community on the internet. He actually walks up to anybody and especially if they are walking a medium size or small dog. People are surprised to see him coming out to greet everybody. If strangers try to pet him without letting him first smell your fingers, WHACK! Out comes the paw with one nail protruding for a quick little prick. I call him Frankie "the Claw." He follows me everywhere in the house, loves to walk on the piano keys, stare at himself and me in the mirror, tango with my dog, and wraps himself around my shoulder---actually he sits wherever he wants. He follows me down the block to the corner store and back. When I walk my dog, Frankie stalks us jumping out of the shadows and tackling my dog and me every so often. Frankie thinks I can't feed myself very well so he brings lizards and rats to me for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Frankie, however, prefers my cuisine, and Frankie gets what Frankie wants.
A mother cat abandoned a just born kitten and we took it in and it appears to be a Bombay, it fits all the discriptions to a T. Even has that Panther walk. Such a beautiful animal. He truly is a mini Panther.
*EXACTLY* what happened to my Bombay! I rescued him around 2 weeks old! Poor thing had bugs on his face and was living by a dumpster :( But he’s big and healthy now, 18 pounds!
Our sweet Bombay passed on 28Aug23 after 17 1/2 years. He was indeed a surprisingly resilient cat that adapted to 3 different homes and was easy to take care of. He especially loved to be brushed and would have gladly succumbed to that treatment until he was bald!! He would take walks with us just like a dog. He was a remarkable little fellow and he is sadly missed.
The county I live in spay and nutter cats then clip off one tip of an ear and put them out in the county. I was hearing a little cry under my deck and there she was. The most beautiful cat I ever saw. I began feeding her and giving her space and after a short time she was rubbing against me then climbing on me. Now she’s my best pal. She an American Bombay. She stole my heart.
I have 2 Bombays. One is 18 and the other is 6. They are such a joyous breed to own. Very smart and loving. My 18 yr old gets along famously with the 6 yr old and still loves to play. A wonderful breed!
According to you I have two Bombay cats, both rescues, though one is feral and the other is domestic. The feral is very affectionate with me, but disappears when company comes. The domestic is an extrovert, loves to meet new people, and remembers old friends. They are both gorgeous cats. ❤
I just arrived at my hometown and then me and my dad found this pretty cat! I didn't know she was intelligent and rare. Shes super cute and always meowing at me ❤❤🎉🎉
I have one and she is everything and more, mine was a neighbors that they abandoned, long story short I let her decide who she wanted to be with and she is happily with me by choice, great smart cat, she has trained me well !
We have two and they are Velcro kitties. They plays fetch every day. They even sleep in our beds one under covers one at they foot. They are a true joy to have around.
I just got two Bombays. Both 2 months old. For now they're just quiet in their little spot but seems to be easy cats to have. I'm excited for my journey ahead with them
Soo! It seems I've got myself an American Bombay cat and I had no idea. Thanks for the precious infos! I thought she were a simply a variation of the prevalent European breeds, here, in my part of the world. She's all black, with a luscious fur and golden eyes with a discrete greenish tint, she's very similar to one of the cats in this video. The cat under the bed cover reminds me of my own, caught hiding - just the same position, the same look, that's quite surprising. She was 2 months old when I adopted her, she was found strolling alone in the neighborhood, by one of my daughter's school pals. And she proved to be extremely adaptable, curious, loyal, even possessive and very smart. She likes to cuddle but in no way has the patience to stay if you need some fury bed companion. Only if and when she wishes... A real queen with a savage depth of her own. Adores to be the center of attention and to play around, but also to stare, indeed.
We have a Bombay cat 🐈⬛ that we got from the humane Society. He was fun from day one. He is everything you said he is. Kingston is my handsome fur baby. ❤ Everyone who sees him remarks on his size. I do have to regulate his diet because he loves to eat. He’s cuddly and smart. He’s also protective and loyal to me. He is also the Boss of the house.❤
My Bombay cat is a girl and her name is Mimi and she is 7 months. She is a rescue cat, found in a semi in bad shape. She was gifted to our family as an early xmas gift for my kiddos. As soon as she made her way into the house she followed me upstairs to my daughters room and jumped right in her lap snuggling with her. At that point we knew she was meant for our family. She is my 3rd baby, my world and I am crazy about her! She is definitely a Bombay cat, chill personality, friendly and my shadow. I look forward to coming home from work and her reaching up for me to pick her up and give her her daily snuggles!! ♥️😍🐈⬛️
I love my Bombay boy, he is such a darling boy. He's half Maine coone and polydactyly on all four paws! I love him so so much and he is such a good boy! He really is the best behaved kitty I have ever had and never had to train!!
My Bombay boy LOVES being a stinker. He's a professional food thief and loves to pull little pranks on me like playing hide and seek lol very energetic and great for small kids and people with dogs!
I just had to send my beloved Bombay, Monkeybear, over the Rainbow Bridge, due to cancer. One of the most heartbreaking days I can remember; she was a truly magical and wonderful kitty.
I really enjoyed your video. My Bombay was indeed a very intelligent feline. She was given to me when only a 6 week old kitty by one of my sisters who brought her up from PA... many decades back. After awhile, I had to put her down due to poor health & bad teeth while I was away on the west coast for a number of years. She was my little panther, no matter what mood she was in, and she was a very good hunter while outdoors. Maybe one day I'll obtain another to keep me company.
I got my cat 3 years ago for $20 off of craigs list, and I never knew what breed she was. All I knew was that she was extremely clingy, very affectionate, but also very spoiled and likes to bite when her mood is foul. She follows me from room to room but ignores my roommates entirely. But after seeing a tiktok about the top 5 most aggressive cat breeds, I started to suspect my baby might be a Bombay. Now after seeing this I'm 100% certain that she is 😄
i love my Bombay. I was cooking on my grill in backyard two summers ago and all of a sudden a baby Bombay kitten showed up at my feet. like kitten kitten. Clinged right to me as to pick me in life as if it was choosing me to be its owner. . We were locked in. She next to my dog is my pride and joy of life. attached to my hip and sleeps with me every night. So glad she picked me. Meant to be
We rescued a kitten 12 weeks ago and I am thinking he is a Bombay. He is all black and loves to play and pounce. So I am loving my black cat and if he is a Bombay that is just another great thing.
I literally came here in search for why our newest addition is so unique. Ive never known any cat like Grim. Everyone has been in love with him since day one. He is extremely energetic almost ADHD, constantly looking back and forth trying to gain focus in our chaotic home 😂. He is super muscular and warm. One of the first unique attributes that made me question what in the world breed us he! Also, SUPER inquisitive! Like alway up in our business 😂 wanting to know whats going what we are doing like right smack dab in our grill! He's so playful and loves our puppy and everyone in our home. We feel blessed to have adopted him from Pet Smart where we fell in love immediately and applied. Thanks for the info. Im amazed how exact the info is to his personality. And lastly... the striking orange eyes against his shiney fur is stunning and almost creepy when he stares through your soul 😂. Weve said multiple times how human-like he is. 😳😂😂😂
The super hyper ADHD personality was basically cut in half overnight (no pun intended) when I got my male Bombay neutered. He was only 6 months at the time, but he bullied the other pets in the house a lot less and he was a lot less destructive in general.
These cats are the bomb. Very loyal and lovable. Mine is so strong and shiny. The stigma of black cats is crap. If anything, they give luck not take it. You can’t go wrong.
Wonderful amazing vedio sir i got 2 Bombay cats (mother 4 yrs daughter 2yrs old ). Till now i don't know about their breed U made it very clearly about this breed OMG iam so thrilled to know that my cats are. Bombay cats Every body calls them Black panthers by their looks What all u said in ur vedio is 100% true sir Thanks a lot for this information God bless u 👍🙏
Yes, always....wants attention! He can be passed out asleep, but has to get up and follow me everywhere. He will sleep with me for so long until my bf lays down and puts off tons of heat. When he can't find his humans, he talks so loud. 🤣 Lastly, he does go to anyone that walks in the house....trader.💗 His poor tail is not short, but not really long like our Tuxedo cat and the darn thing gets stepped on a lot because he moves it when we move. I love him so much!🥰🥰
Found a Bombay kitten in a chicken coop while on a job ended up bringing him home. He’s been my best friend ever since always at the door waiting for me jumps into my arms he’s an amazing cat just likes to play rough.
I have an American Bombay and he’s literally the best ❤ everyone loves him. The only time he gets anxious is if the food bowl is empty. Then he will terrorize you in the most ingenious non-destructive ways 😂
Found a Bombay stray kitten (or should I say he found and adopted me). Had to get part of his tail cut off due to neglect, but he’s still a jumper and cuddle bug. Artemis is so loving, rambunctious, always hungry and chatty. At 20 lbs he loves to lay on my chest like a baby lol I luvs him so much 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛🐈⬛
I have a Bombay cat, his behavior is different from my chausie cat. He loves to play, very productive, and he's easy to communicate by hand sign. He's super sweet than my chausie cat. I really love Bombay cat.🤍
Mine is a British Bombay. He's the sweetest little furball. His name is Cricket and, he does everything in this video except burrow in blankets. He hasn't done that yet; however, he loves to snuggle against me for warmth.
Everything they said is true!!! There was a beautiful black 🐈⬛ cat that hung around my house!!! I hadn't seen the cat in awhile but one day I heard a cat meowing loudly at my window 🪟!!! It was and all black kitten my friend told me two other kittens where run over up the street from my house I guess it was her brother and sister,so I figured we were meant to be together!!! And Boo is very smart!!!
Hmm i blv my little black fluff ball is half Bombay. He fits every characteristic. I wondered why he was a little different then most black cats that i was honored to have in my life and now i think i know why. Hair black down to the roots, beautiful copper rimmed w green eyes, round head n ears, short muzzle etc etc. This little extrovert is a joy to have around. Perfect mix of sweet and mischievous. His collar is a small pendant with a cute heart with horns n a tail. His name Chaos. I guess i needed a little Chaos in my life. And my roomie says i am a complete witch now that i have my black cat....and yup he was born the beginning of October. Shout out to all the people who share their life n home to these awesome creatures may they bring you all the love and luck to your hearts content.
I have one, he was abandoned when the neighbor moved out! He is my buddy, frequently sleeps on my chest, a genuine love bug! Doesn’t agree with the other 5 cats in the house! Extremely long cat, built muscular and 25#!
I love blackheads they're so cute and their shiny black coats I so soft to touch and I love it when they're vocal I had so many black cats over the years and I could tell you they are my favorite I even named one of my cats Toto and I miss him so much.
I had a Goldman eyed, entirely black cat as a young woman. He escaped from my Mum going to the vet and we saw him a year later sunning himself in the window of the house across the street. We called on them and they willingly gave him back to us. His name was Sam.
I have a mother and daughter that I rescued they are both so loveable mama comes around me around feeding time but loves to follow my wife around baby is more attached to me but as you say they love to have attention on them and to be loved on and they definitely get that at my home .

I have a Bombay - my first black cat ever. Amazing little guy - so friendly and affectionate.
I’ve had my Kitty since 12 weeks old and Jynx is amazing!! He’s 7 now and I’m absolutely sold on a male Bombay being in my life forever. He really was so perfect for me because my family is all dog people so he truly fits right in! He’s also lived and moved hundreds of miles with me and will never leave my side. He’s amazing ❤
My female Bombay is named Jinx!!
A stray just choose my family this past weekend. She showed up in our front yard early Saturday morning. She such a sweetheart.
I have one and his nam is Rocky. I got him when he was 7 weeks old. I taught him fetch,turn in a circle, & stand on his back paws to get his temptations treat.
He follows me everywhere. I remember the first day I got him he would be playful and when he got tired he would get on my shoulder and fall asleep.
I just got a Bombay couple months ago.
He is about 4 months old. Rescue!Smartest cat I’ve ever had. So smart a little wary of me at 1st so I was taken back. Thought I got the wrong cat.
I’m used to cats that perch and are needy and being love hogs. Not as much of a percher but extra needy. He wants all the attention at all times or he is watching me like a weirdo.
Just an amazing lover he is. Really good with my kids and whippet hound in the fam. Mellow most of the time with a hunger you gotta watch. He always wants to eat. Short and chunky with a long tail. Those eyes. I can’t see him in the dark until his eyes are open. You can’t tell what is what even on a white background until he opens his eyes. Very freaky but gentle cats. Most gentle of any cat I’ve ever had. The play bites are so obvious with I lick on the end to let you know he is joking. Just don’t cross the freak! Seriously.
We have had 3 Bombsys in our family, including our 1st cat 35 yrs ago. We currently have Ember, an 8-yr-old sweetheart! Bombays are the BEST cats!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
We have a Bombay that was a stray and we got her from the Humane Society. She is a wonderful pet. Talkative and and a very loving companion!
Our Bombay cat adopted us! She came up on our deck & wouldn’t leave. We tried everything to find an owner. She was only about 4 months old the vet said. So we brought her into home… her forever home! She is wonderful!!! She visits each family member repeatedly all day!🥰
We wonder… where did a pure bred Bombay stray come from? We are very thankful she chose us to be her forever home!🥰
The first kitten I ever raised is a Bombay. She’s 1.5 years old and is the sweetest cat in the world. She just takes a bit of time to warm up to people.
My cat was a rescue. I don’t know her breeding, but she has the physical traits and DEFINITELY the characteristics of a Bombay.
😂 Peace always
My black boy is a rescue his mum passed away of covid I have no idea what breed he is but the most beautiful black cat with yellow eyes he’s around 10 yrs old I just couldn’t be without him
We love our Bombay. We rescued him from the outside snow about 2 years ago while he was a kitten. He's chosen me as him human, but very good cat. Loves to cuddle, follows me from room to room, extremely loyal cat. Great with our 5 year old, and other cats, though he does have to be center of attention and will definitely let you know when he wants attention. Aside from my Bengal mix, whom is pretty much the same way, very quickly earned spot as my favorite type of cat to own
One thing not mentioned is how talkative they are! When I walked into the shelter there was forlorn tiny black thing. He looked up at me and gave me a meow like “please 🙏 help me ❤”. Ok! I adopted 2 black babies that day. He started to talk about 4 months and hasn’t shut up since 😅. Taught him to fetch and give paw. He loves me and only me but he does hide when someone visits. I think it’s because he was born feral and is very high strung. He has his own sleeping spots. He’s 11 now and one of the great loves of my life ❤❤
Everything and I really mean everything in this video is EXACTLY my Laramine who is a rescue.
He is like a human in his affection and obedience.
He is overweight but recently he is on a strict diet.
Thanks for letting me know I have an American Bombay cat.
I subbed today because this channel helped me uncover great stuff.
Peace out...
We just adopted our Mia from our local SPCA. We have had her for a week, and is such a love! She is settling in well, and is always near .
My Bombay showed up one day at my home around six months of age. Nobody in the neighborhood knew where he came from. I adopted him and the vet did the rest.
He created quite a stir and became somewhat of a celebrity in our community on the internet. He actually walks up to anybody and especially if they are walking a medium size or small dog. People are surprised to see him coming out to greet everybody.
If strangers try to pet him without letting him first smell your fingers, WHACK! Out comes the paw with one nail protruding for a quick little prick. I call him Frankie "the Claw." He follows me everywhere in the house, loves to walk on the piano keys, stare at himself and me in the mirror, tango with my dog, and wraps himself around my shoulder---actually he sits wherever he wants. He follows me down the block to the corner store and back.
When I walk my dog, Frankie stalks us jumping out of the shadows and tackling my dog and me every so often.
Frankie thinks I can't feed myself very well so he brings lizards and rats to me for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Frankie, however, prefers my cuisine, and Frankie gets what Frankie wants.
My Pepper Ana is simply adorable and I love her with all my ❤
Thank you so much! Pepper Ana is truly a sweetheart and I appreciate your kind words.
A mother cat abandoned a just born kitten and we took it in and it appears to be a Bombay, it fits all the discriptions to a T. Even has that Panther walk. Such a beautiful animal. He truly is a mini Panther.
Bombay is a lovely breed
Thats happened to me too but he was like 4 weeks old
*EXACTLY* what happened to my Bombay! I rescued him around 2 weeks old! Poor thing had bugs on his face and was living by a dumpster :(
But he’s big and healthy now, 18 pounds!
Our sweet Bombay passed on 28Aug23 after 17 1/2 years. He was indeed a surprisingly resilient cat that adapted to 3 different homes and was easy to take care of. He especially loved to be brushed and would have gladly succumbed to that treatment until he was bald!! He would take walks with us just like a dog. He was a remarkable little fellow and he is sadly missed.
Love my Bombay. She is so comical. She is a love. 🐈⬛♥️
The county I live in spay and nutter cats then clip off one tip of an ear and put them out in the county. I was hearing a little cry under my deck and there she was. The most beautiful cat I ever saw. I began feeding her and giving her space and after a short time she was rubbing against me then climbing on me. Now she’s my best pal. She an American Bombay. She stole my heart.
I have 2 Bombays. One is 18 and the other is 6. They are such a joyous breed to own. Very smart and loving. My 18 yr old gets along famously with the 6 yr old and still loves to play. A wonderful breed!
Aww. So I now have a British Bombay! Thank you for this video! I just adopted a 14yr old female - so sweet!
Ya I think mine is British to because of her sorta green eyes
I love this breed of cat! Very affectionate.
According to you I have two Bombay cats, both rescues, though one is feral and the other is domestic. The feral is very affectionate with me, but disappears when company comes. The domestic is an extrovert, loves to meet new people, and remembers old friends. They are both gorgeous cats. ❤
It sounds like you have a lovely pair of cats with unique personalities! It's amazing how animals can have such different behaviors and preferences.
I just arrived at my hometown and then me and my dad found this pretty cat! I didn't know she was intelligent and rare. Shes super cute and always meowing at me ❤❤🎉🎉
I came here with a black cat but left with a Bombay. Cool. 👍
I have one and she is everything and more, mine was a neighbors that they abandoned, long story short I let her decide who she wanted to be with and she is happily with me by choice, great smart cat, she has trained me well !
That's such a heartwarming story! It's amazing how animals can choose their human companions and bring so much joy into our lives.
I adopted 2 Bombay cats .They beautiful with their golden eyes and are very cleaver . I love them so
We have two and they are Velcro kitties. They plays fetch every day. They even sleep in our beds one under covers one at they foot. They are a true joy to have around.
I just got two Bombays. Both 2 months old. For now they're just quiet in their little spot but seems to be easy cats to have. I'm excited for my journey ahead with them
That's wonderful! Bombay cats are such a joy to have. Enjoy every moment of your journey with them!
Love my four Bombays all rescue cats❤
That's amazing! It's so heartwarming to see people rescuing and giving a loving home to these beautiful cats. Kudos to you for making a difference!
Love black cats
Soo! It seems I've got myself an American Bombay cat and I had no idea. Thanks for the precious infos! I thought she were a simply a variation of the prevalent European breeds, here, in my part of the world. She's all black, with a luscious fur and golden eyes with a discrete greenish tint, she's very similar to one of the cats in this video. The cat under the bed cover reminds me of my own, caught hiding - just the same position, the same look, that's quite surprising. She was 2 months old when I adopted her, she was found strolling alone in the neighborhood, by one of my daughter's school pals. And she proved to be extremely adaptable, curious, loyal, even possessive and very smart. She likes to cuddle but in no way has the patience to stay if you need some fury bed companion. Only if and when she wishes... A real queen with a savage depth of her own. Adores to be the center of attention and to play around, but also to stare, indeed.
I have a Bombay cat female, Diesel she is the best, loves sleeping on the oven, and any warm spots. Follows me all over the house. Much loved👍
We have a Bombay cat 🐈⬛ that we got from the humane Society. He was fun from day one. He is everything you said he is. Kingston is my handsome fur baby. ❤ Everyone who sees him remarks on his size. I do have to regulate his diet because he loves to eat. He’s cuddly and smart. He’s also protective and loyal to me. He is also the Boss of the house.❤
My Bombay cat is a girl and her name is Mimi and she is 7 months. She is a rescue cat, found in a semi in bad shape. She was gifted to our family as an early xmas gift for my kiddos. As soon as she made her way into the house she followed me upstairs to my daughters room and jumped right in her lap snuggling with her. At that point we knew she was meant for our family. She is my 3rd baby, my world and I am crazy about her! She is definitely a Bombay cat, chill personality, friendly and my shadow. I look forward to coming home from work and her reaching up for me to pick her up and give her her daily snuggles!! ♥️😍🐈⬛️
Absolutely spot on! You just described my 2 that I had. I miss them everyday.
I love my Bombay boy, he is such a darling boy.
He's half Maine coone and polydactyly on all four paws!
I love him so so much and he is such a good boy! He really is the best behaved kitty I have ever had and never had to train!!
Bombays are beautiful cats. Friendly n cuddley.
Thank you for appreciating the beauty of Bombays!
My Bombay boy LOVES being a stinker. He's a professional food thief and loves to pull little pranks on me like playing hide and seek lol very energetic and great for small kids and people with dogs!
I love my Bombay... she is so special. very smart.
It's amazing how special and smart our pets can be!
We rescued a all black kitten and she grew into a beautiful bombay! Talk about lucky!
That's amazing! What a heartwarming story.
I just had to send my beloved Bombay, Monkeybear, over the Rainbow Bridge, due to cancer. One of the most heartbreaking days I can remember; she was a truly magical and wonderful kitty.
I really enjoyed your video. My Bombay was indeed a very intelligent feline. She was given to me when only a 6 week old kitty by one of my sisters who brought her up from PA... many decades back. After awhile, I had to put her down due to poor health & bad teeth while I was away on the west coast for a number of years. She was my little panther, no matter what mood she was in, and she was a very good hunter while outdoors. Maybe one day I'll obtain another to keep me company.
Yes! my BC is a Bombay.
was adopted. He is pure Bombay ! Now I know for sure.
I got my cat 3 years ago for $20 off of craigs list, and I never knew what breed she was. All I knew was that she was extremely clingy, very affectionate, but also very spoiled and likes to bite when her mood is foul. She follows me from room to room but ignores my roommates entirely.
But after seeing a tiktok about the top 5 most aggressive cat breeds, I started to suspect my baby might be a Bombay. Now after seeing this I'm 100% certain that she is 😄
I’ve had my green eyed Bombay for 6 years. He’s the best kitty.
My first cat is black. Bombay, everything said in this video is spot on.
i love my Bombay. I was cooking on my grill in backyard two summers ago and all of a sudden a baby Bombay kitten showed up at my feet. like kitten kitten. Clinged right to me as to pick me in life as if it was choosing me to be its owner. . We were locked in. She next to my dog is my pride and joy of life. attached to my hip and sleeps with me every night. So glad she picked me. Meant to be
Beautiful animals I just adopted a black cat and I love him like a child
Such beautiful cats!
We rescued a kitten 12 weeks ago and I am thinking he is a Bombay. He is all black and loves to play and pounce. So I am loving my black cat and if he is a Bombay that is just another great thing.
We have two ! They best buddies and such a joy to have around.
My best cat was a a black cat. Samson. Just adopted another after Sam passed. Loki is like a reincarnation! So sweet cuddly and smart
Please see the Loki and Rocky channel. Old dog and tiny kitten becoming friends
Yep, all spot on apart from greeting people. I don't like people coming round to my house.
Cool, merci.
yes i love the bombay cat,we have one,he is so attentive.
I literally came here in search for why our newest addition is so unique. Ive never known any cat like Grim. Everyone has been in love with him since day one. He is extremely energetic almost ADHD, constantly looking back and forth trying to gain focus in our chaotic home 😂. He is super muscular and warm. One of the first unique attributes that made me question what in the world breed us he! Also, SUPER inquisitive! Like alway up in our business 😂 wanting to know whats going what we are doing like right smack dab in our grill! He's so playful and loves our puppy and everyone in our home. We feel blessed to have adopted him from Pet Smart where we fell in love immediately and applied.
Thanks for the info. Im amazed how exact the info is to his personality. And lastly... the striking orange eyes against his shiney fur is stunning and almost creepy when he stares through your soul 😂. Weve said multiple times how human-like he is. 😳😂😂😂
The super hyper ADHD personality was basically cut in half overnight (no pun intended) when I got my male Bombay neutered. He was only 6 months at the time, but he bullied the other pets in the house a lot less and he was a lot less destructive in general.
My kitten is a Bombay and he's the sweetest and smartest little guy! He's also very mischievous and is always up to something if he's awake. You'll
Yes I love this cat
Thank you for your kind words!
My favorite cat,in fact I had one for approx.16 yr. He was a rescue..I miss him as he has passed......
These cats are the bomb. Very loyal and lovable. Mine is so strong and shiny. The stigma of black cats is crap. If anything, they give luck not take it. You can’t go wrong.
Wonderful amazing vedio sir i got 2 Bombay cats (mother 4 yrs daughter 2yrs old ). Till now i don't know about their breed
U made it very clearly about this breed OMG iam so thrilled to know that my cats are. Bombay cats Every body calls them Black panthers by their looks What all u said in ur vedio is 100% true sir
Thanks a lot for this information God bless u 👍🙏
Yes, always....wants attention! He can be passed out asleep, but has to get up and follow me everywhere. He will sleep with me for so long until my bf lays down and puts off tons of heat. When he can't find his humans, he talks so loud. 🤣 Lastly, he does go to anyone that walks in the house....trader.💗 His poor tail is not short, but not really long like our Tuxedo cat and the darn thing gets stepped on a lot because he moves it when we move. I love him so much!🥰🥰
Found a Bombay kitten in a chicken coop while on a job ended up bringing him home. He’s been my best friend ever since always at the door waiting for me jumps into my arms he’s an amazing cat just likes to play rough.
I have an American Bombay and he’s literally the best ❤ everyone loves him. The only time he gets anxious is if the food bowl is empty. Then he will terrorize you in the most ingenious non-destructive ways 😂
Found a Bombay stray kitten (or should I say he found and adopted me). Had to get part of his tail cut off due to neglect, but he’s still a jumper and cuddle bug. Artemis is so loving, rambunctious, always hungry and chatty. At 20 lbs he loves to lay on my chest like a baby lol I luvs him so much 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛🐈⬛
I had one of these cats my beautiful Bombay girl crossed the Rainbow Bridge a long time ago.. I miss her dearly
I'm sorry to hear about your Bombay girl. They truly leave a lasting mark on our hearts.
Everything you spoke about is very true amazing ❤
I have a Bombay cat, his behavior is different from my chausie cat. He loves to play, very productive, and he's easy to communicate by hand sign. He's super sweet than my chausie cat. I really love Bombay cat.🤍
I Love My Jimbo So Much ❤️.
Sweetest, Smartest, Loving Cat l Have Ever Owned.
My Spoiled Rotten Boy.❤❤❤🐈⬛🐾
Mine is a British Bombay. He's the sweetest little furball. His name is Cricket and, he does everything in this video except burrow in blankets. He hasn't done that yet; however, he loves to snuggle against me for warmth.
Everything they said is true!!! There was a beautiful black 🐈⬛ cat that hung around my house!!! I hadn't seen the cat in awhile but one day I heard a cat meowing loudly at my window 🪟!!! It was and all black kitten my friend told me two other kittens where run over up the street from my house I guess it was her brother and sister,so I figured we were meant to be together!!! And Boo is very smart!!!
Wow, that should be your best friend
Hmm i blv my little black fluff ball is half Bombay. He fits every characteristic. I wondered why he was a little different then most black cats that i was honored to have in my life and now i think i know why. Hair black down to the roots, beautiful copper rimmed w green eyes, round head n ears, short muzzle etc etc. This little extrovert is a joy to have around. Perfect mix of sweet and mischievous. His collar is a small pendant with a cute heart with horns n a tail. His name Chaos. I guess i needed a little Chaos in my life. And my roomie says i am a complete witch now that i have my black cat....and yup he was born the beginning of October. Shout out to all the people who share their life n home to these awesome creatures may they bring you all the love and luck to your hearts content.
I have one, he was abandoned when the neighbor moved out! He is my buddy, frequently sleeps on my chest, a genuine love bug! Doesn’t agree with the other 5 cats in the house! Extremely long cat, built muscular and 25#!
I love blackheads they're so cute and their shiny black coats I so soft to touch and I love it when they're vocal I had so many black cats over the years and I could tell you they are my favorite I even named one of my cats Toto and I miss him so much.
I adopted a British Bombay cat and he is so adorable and I love him so much 💖🐾🐾✨💫
I had a Goldman eyed, entirely black cat as a young woman. He escaped from my Mum going to the vet and we saw him a year later sunning himself in the window of the house across the street. We called on them and they willingly gave him back to us. His name was Sam.
I have 2 Bombays and they are amazing! They are the breed for me!
Yep my Bombay has pretty much all the characteristics in the video.
I have a mother and daughter that I rescued they are both so loveable mama comes around me around feeding time but loves to follow my wife around baby is more attached to me but as you say they love to have attention on them and to be loved on and they definitely get that at my home .
I love ❤️ all cat the blacks are stunning xx cats 🐈⬛ xx
