擁有烏黑亮澤的緞面毛色、結實修長的身軀與一雙大大的銅色眼睛,難怪外型出眾的孟買貓常被稱為「迷你黑豹」。如果你不會因為與黑貓相關的迷信而卻步,那麼孟買貓或許正是家中最完美的新成員。

貓咪繁育者 Nikki Horner 最初將緬甸貓與美國短毛貓交配培育出孟買貓,希望創造出外型宛如野生黑豹的家貓。孟買貓與緬甸貓血緣相近,但牠們體型更大,四肢和身軀也更修長。
這些好奇心旺盛、愛玩又極度親人的貓咪,也被稱為「魔鬼氈貓」,因為牠們會非常依戀飼主,喜歡待在人身邊。因此,若你打算長時間讓孟買貓獨處,建議考慮再養一隻貓陪伴牠。牠們是很棒的家庭寵物,也適合公寓、孩童與年長者。

孟買貓的毛髮短且不太掉毛,只需要少量梳理。不過,若每週至少為你的孟買貓梳毛一次,可讓牠的毛色更加亮麗有光澤。孟買貓通常沒有容易罹患的重大健康問題,但根據 Animal Planet 網站資料,牠們可能會有鼻竇問題和流眼淚的情況。

We have a Bombay named October/Toby. He is definitely a Velcro kitty and lots of fun. He does have terrible sinuses - we have to get him shots every Spring :( But I'd never be able to get him to wear a sweater.
PS: let's work to get rid of the superstition about black cats. They're wonderful ! <3
Another sweet Miau, they resemble my Masha who is 3/4 Maine Coon and already 17 years old
Thank you for showing us these gorgeous cats...I just love them!
My miniature panther is my best friend when he sees me or hears me cry he jumps on me and comfort me and lays with me all night he's my life
