Overview

Bengal

The Bengal is a breathtaking breed that brings the wild beauty of a leopard into the home without the wild temperament. Their spectacularly spotted or marbled coats shimmer with a unique glitter effect that no other breed possesses. Bengals are high-energy, intelligent, and athletic cats that need committed, experienced owners who can match their enthusiasm for life.

Bombay

The Bombay was bred to resemble a miniature black panther, and they succeed magnificently — their jet-black coat gleams like patent leather, and their copper eyes glow against the darkness like polished pennies. Beneath that stunning exterior lies an affectionate, easygoing personality that makes the Bombay an ideal family cat for those who love the sleek beauty of a wild cat in a thoroughly domesticated package.
