Who says black cats are bad luck? This medium-sized, outgoing, alert cat is muscular and hefty. Male Bombay cats can weigh up to fifteen pounds, and the breed originated in Thailand. The Bombay cat is quite rare, and, though it is (somewhat) domesticated, these cats can act like wildcats. They look like black panthers with their all-black coats and copper-green eyes.

You can tell if your cat is a Bombay if its coat is all the way black, down to the roots. Even the paw pads and nose will also be black. Bombay cats are very vocal, so if you don’t want a cat that meows a lot, you might want to skip this one.
