Overview

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.

Korat

The Korat is one of the oldest and most treasured cat breeds from Thailand, where they are known as "Si-Sawat" (the color of the Sawat seed) and considered living symbols of good fortune. With their heart-shaped face, luminous green eyes, and shimmering silver-blue coat, Korats are rare gems of the cat world — intensely bonded to their owners and deeply sensitive to their environment.
