Bombay vs Javanese

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.

The Javanese is a colorpoint longhaired cat that extends the Balinese color palette beyond the four traditional Siamese colors. With the same elegant, flowing silhouette and vivid blue eyes as the Balinese, Javanese cats offer additional point colors including red, cream, lynx, and tortie patterns. They combine exotic beauty with a warm, social personality that makes them wonderful interactive companions.
