Bombay The Bombay was developed with the intention of producing a domestic cat with the appearance of a miniature Black Panther.

From the Munchkin come huge, upright ears and very short legs. Hairless white or pink skin comes from the Sphynx breeding. Hairless cats need extra… Continue reading Bambino / Shade

The breed originated from purebred Siamese imported from Thailand into the US and UK, and has no actual connection to the island of Bali. The… Continue reading Balinese / Flying Saucer
