Breed of the Week: Bombay

While many recognized breeds have been around for years, or are the result of naturally occurring genetic mutations, the Bombay is a result of years of selective breeding in an effort to develop a "Parlor Panther."

Although stunning as sleek, black show cats with mesmerizing copper eyes, the Bombay is easily adaptable as a pet who will play fetch, guard your house, or even venture out with you on a leash. You'll surely awe the neighbors with your "patent leather kid with the copper penny eyes."
