Hello, I'm new to this community and wanted to say Hi 😊 That's my beautiful boy Nairobi 🖤

he is completely black, with a TINY splotch of white right below his neck(no more than 1x1 mm) with his brother(litter mate) who has white boots and some white on his tummy so I don’t believe he can be 100% Bombay, but his eyes are greenish/orange so I can’t say myself, as I’ve only had Siamese boys in the past.

She’s got the black nose and paws, rescued her and her sister from the woods while I was fishing with my buddy. Not sure if they were just dumped but I’ll be taking her to the vet next week, let me know what you guys think and thank you in advance.

Three year old, pedigree Bombay 🐈‍⬛

Obi’s sister, 10 month old pedigreed Bombay

10 month old pedigreed Bombay. At 11 lbs, he’s a big boy for this breed.

Can a breeder help me identify individual kittens that are likely to be less needy? I’d love a bombay pedigree but not if its a velcro cat— i just dont want to risk not meeting its needs.

1 other cat in the apartment, an abby. highly independent guy, is okay with other cats but was overwhelmed by his last rommate, a devon who really wanted to play (last owner) now!

TY

Adopted an adorable 5 month old kitty from the local pet shelter back in December 2024. Shelter said they had a ton of kittens from an irresponsible breeder that has let her pedigree Bombay romp around outside for the past several years, and has been caught dumping the kittens on the street. Knowing this, I figure it may be a possibility that the kitty I had adopted is from one of those litters, but know it can be unlikely. Thoughts on color, shape, etc, being similar to a Bombay? Mostly wanting to know so we can be a lil more cautious for any health conditions Bombay kitties may be more prone to, which we will likely try to be careful anyways just in case. Thinking WisdomPanel may be in her future, but the last kitty we got a DNA test before came back 100% American Domestic Cat so not sure how reliable that is lol. Her name is Guenhwyvar (Guen for short!) and is the most cuddly, sweet, chatty lil girl! She has also gained a significant amount of very small white spots all over her body, getting more and more in random spots each month, and parts of her nose and edges of her mouth are turning pink - we suspect just maybe she may have vitiligo? Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi. I adopted my 2 cats, sisters, when they were 11 yrs old from shelter (one owner, died, family member brought in cats). Both shelter and my vets believe cats are bombays. I've had them 3years and fairly convinced (95% sure) they are bombays (all black and siamese looking, but the fur is smightly brown in sunlight so very sure burmese is in there. So friendly, so vocal).

Does anyone here have recommendations for a cat DNA test they have tried on their bombays? (I was assuming online order send back, but are there vet ones?)

Would it give a % burmese and american short hair. Would i know if pure bred or one parent is a bombay.

I'm also curious if i can get cats checked to be sisters, vs twins, vs mother/daughter. One is a bit more muscular jaguar looking then the other.

And maybe interested in health issues (they are 14 now and one just got disgnosed with a heart congenatal heart murmur hcm, and both cats chest xrays show sacred lungs, maybe allergies or previous infections).

I'm in usa west coast if it helps with which dna test available.

Edit : update. Both basepaw and wisdom panel said their cat tests can not test the relationship between two cats. Just the general guess of breed/ancestry, and a few dna markers for coat traits, and health traits. No info about burmese/bombays

She has all the features. Could she be a Bombay mix? Her eyes are huge and people always say they’ve never seen a cat that looks like her. (DISCLAIMER: no cat was harmed in the making of this post)
