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." This stunning Bombay is Wiley, owned by Michelle Bernard, author of the breed profile linked above and the book,"Raising Cats Naturally."
