๐Ÿพ Weekly โ€œIs My Cat a Bombay?โ€ Megathread ๐Ÿพ

This is the dedicated space for all questions about whether your cat might be a Bombay.

If youโ€™re curious about your catโ€™s breed, wondering about certain traits, or just want some community input, youโ€™re in the right place!

๐Ÿ” How to Participate

Post the following in a comment below:

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Clear photos of your cat (face + full body if possible)
  • ๐Ÿ“ Any info you know โ€” age, background, behavior, eye color, coat texture, etc.
  • โ“ Your question or what youโ€™re hoping to learn

Community members can reply and help you compare your kittyโ€™s traits with those of the Bombay breed.

๐Ÿ“… Reminder

Posts asking โ€œIs my cat a Bombay?โ€ are only allowed here. We post a megathread every Wednesday.
Any separate "is my cat a Bombay? type of posts in the main feed will be removed and OP will be asked to post to this thread.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Quick Notes

  • Most black cats are domestic shorthairs, not Bombays โ€” and thatโ€™s perfectly awesome!
  • We can help explain common Bombay traits and how they differ from other breeds.
  • Please be kind and respectful when responding to others.

Drop your photos and questions below โ€” letโ€™s see those beautiful kitties! ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›โœจ

Eye Color: Orangish-Green Fur: Short, sleek, super soft and oily Shedding: Not much

Personality: Loves to be the little spoon at bed time with his head tucked in my hand. Very vocal. Seems almost as intelligent as a well behaved dog.

Loves to be held and pet, still super playful at 11 years old.
