What are Bombay cats like?
Bombay cats are known for their large eye-to-nose ratio, giving them an almost cartoonish expression. The contrast between their yellow eyes and black fur are another notable characteristic of the breed. Weighing between 8-15 pounds and up to 20 inches long, they are slender, medium-sized cats. Their coats are short and black.
Bombay cats are extremely social; with children, dogs (ideally if raised together), and strangers. They crave human companionship, so aren’t a great choice if you spend a lot of time away from home. They’re curious and like to vocalize in the presence of their humans.
FAQs when considering Bombay cats
How much do Bombay cats cost?
As a sought-after breed, Bombay kittens for sale cost between $600 and $1,000. A cat’s price is based on its pedigree, coat quality, age, health and vaccination history. If an Bombay cat’s parents are show-winning, they can be even more expensive.
What should I ask to choose the right Bombay breeder?
While there are many people who claim to be ethical Bombay breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Bombay breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:
- Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
- Whether they've bred their Bombays with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
- Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
- Do they belong to a Bombay breed club? You can ask for references from the club.
Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Bombay breeder?
When you buy from a registered Bombay breeder (with either their local club, governing body, or TICA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced. You can ask them about a wide range of topics such as the Bombay’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Bombays to look out for. We offer additional registration through our Cat Kingpin Certified program as well, although it's not a replacement for other registrations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
