Bombay cat - home panther

Bombay cat - a completely new breed. Despite the name, the birthplace of these kis is not India at all, but the USA, or rather, Kentucky. His resident, Nicky Horner, under the impression of Kipling's book "Mowgli" since childhood dreamed of having a small panther in her house. She was the first and crossed an American domestic cat of black color with Burmese breed. To exclude the appearance of any stains and shades of other colors, except black, she crossed the emerging kittens with other Burmese, and as a result achieved the desired. Regardless of Horner, the British Isles were working on crossing short-haired British beauty of a black suit with a burma, giving similar results. In 1976, the breed was recognized by the CFA.

Bombay is a cat that inherited from its ancestors both the best qualities and the ancestral diseases. It is somewhat similar to the Burmese, but the stop on the muzzle is not so pronounced. In addition, from the American ancestor she got a well-developed thorax, strong muscular paws and a balanced character. An Asian relative gave the bomb a graceful gait and hypnotic eyes of a copper or bronze tide. The main feature of the breed is black as resin color and as if the varnished texture of wool. And black should be the whole body, down to the nose and pads of the paws, and the fur coat should in no case be fluffy - the fur must be shiny and close to the body, creating the effect of varnished rubber.

Bombay cats are much smaller than cats. The real macho weighs 4-5 kilograms, whereas the ladies are more elegant, 3-4 kilograms. Another feature of the breed is early sexual maturation: already in 6-9 months the animals of this breed are eager to get along with a partner. These little animals combine grace and strength. From the Asian ancestor, the breeds inherited the "Burmese craniofacial defect", which develops in the kitten still in the womb of the mother. Among their "thoroughbred" diseases are also gum disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, problems with the eyes, ears and breathing (due to the structure of the nose).

The black suit's gene is dominant, so the Bombay cat is easily recognizable by its black and shiny, anthracite-like coat. However, the manifestation of a recessive gene sometimes breeds even in the offspring of two absolutely black bombs of kittens of a beautiful "sable" suit. Most associations do not recognize sable color, considering it a defect and a deviation from the standard, but TICA allows you to expose sable bombs, calling them the same name. 2-3 days before the exhibition, it is recommended to bathe the cat with the use of special oils to give the lacquer shine to the fur coat, and immediately before it, also "polish" with suede or silk rag.

Bombay cat does not require special care. Short hair does not need a daily combing, except during moult it is necessary to comb the animal with a special rubber brush. Animals of this breed are very thermophilic and like to sleep under the blanket. They are prone to colds, so you need to take care that the cat's house is insulated and not stand in a draft. Another feature of the breed is irrepressible gluttony. Sometimes afternoon snacks, late dinners and endless snacks between the main meals do not affect the figure of the pet, but it happens that this leads to obesity. Feed such a cat needs balanced feeds.

The nature of these kis is good-natured and sociable. Bombay cat easily gets along with dogs and other animals, but likes to dominate. She is very affectionate to people, and in a large family she chooses her beloved master, whom she demonstrates in every possible way loyal loyalties. Children are afraid, but they do not start claws - they just run away and hide from them. He likes to play or quietly sit on his lap. This breed will suit both active people and quiet retirees, since a miniature home panther knows how to create a cozy atmosphere in the house if he wants.
