Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are Bombay cats hypoallergenic?

Not entirely. While they may not produce as many allergens as long haired breeds, they still produce the Fel d 1 protein that causes allergies.

3. Why is their coat so shiny?

Selective breeding and good nutrition give them their special patent leather shine.

2. Do Bombay cats get along with other pets?

Yes, they generally get along with cats and dogs if you introduce them properly.

4. Do they need special care in cold weather?

No, not particularly, but of course, they like warm spots because of their short coat. They like cozy bedding and sunny spots.
