7 things i wish i knew before buying a bombay cat

[@pokituu1074]

This is so true, I got mine and he's nearly as old as me, he is still a very handsome boy and meows till I pick him up, he's such a baby.

[@SillyNep]

Omg mine (I'm not sure if she is but she definitely looks like one) does the same thing, she's old now so jumping is harder so she just meows at me to get me to help her haha they're so cute

[@Karen-hh9rd]

I rescued my Bombay! She showed up cold, hungry & scared. Now she's the queen of the house! She gives me so much joy! ❤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

I love my Bombay cat! I adopted him from a shelter, and didn’t know what he was, until I googled “cats that act like dogs”, because my cat loves to play Fetch (with the toy mouse), and brings it back, drops it at my feet and waits for another throw! He also follows me absolutely everywhere, and makes sure I’m ok, I love him!

[@laural5177]

I also adopted a Bombay from a shelter. He loved to play fetch with a toy mouse. He died last year at 16 yeas old and I miss him to this day.

[@Dressage_Diva_in_Pink]

My English Bombay is an ex feral tomcat. But now you’d never guess that at all apart from his clipped ear! He’s so respectful of my other cat Kitten who’s head of the house. And makes my grumpy tortoiseshell little madam does some exercise thankfully as she’s the greedy one. My English Bombay is also so grateful to now live the cushy house cat lifestyle instead of his previous feral one 😊

[@kayv5840]

I love that you Googled “cats that act like dogs” because that’s how mine is. 😂

[@Dressage_Diva_in_Pink]

My English Bombay me everywhere around the house and waits behind the door every time we go out looking through the glass waiting for me to come back indoors……what’s impressive with him is that when he was feral he took my mum a year to get near him….yet now I can’t go anywhere in house without him following me and he gets upset if shut any door inside too. Though the kitchen door has to be kept shut at all times, cause his monkey side leads him astray! And both him and our dog are absolutely double trouble when together otherwise. 🐱🐈‍⬛🐶😍🤩

You know u have a no bag cat when they are catching birds in mid flight! -ours adopted us when he walked in our house at 2 months old that summer and comes and goes when he wants. It’s been almost 20years now. We never really knew if he had a family. He sleeps here every night and day and my neighbors said he sleeps in their house too(closest neighbors are kinda far on both sides and both of them said he just walks in sleeps then eats and bounces… He’s a syr8 up force of nature and cause and it’s his only down slide is the sacrificed creatures he leaves on our door step and my mini-ramp. Birds,mice,rats, praying mantis,,small squirrels,,bunnies etc.. I just put ‘em on “offering rock” and usually he or some animal eats em…it’s sad but it’s nature….

[@bigwu100]

We have two adult cats and my grand daughter gifted us two Bombay kittens. Oh my God they are everywhere all at once. Very entertaining. But also so sweet. Very glad they are part of the family.

[@canamrider07]

We were out In our backyard and heard a small, but constant meow. My wife called and a little , feral, kitten hoped the fence and ran over to us. Turned out it is a Bombay, we call AJ. He’s sleeping next to me now. He’s the best.

[@lauralonati7048]

Well I rescued a black cat 3 months ago looks exactly like these here. She is 6 to 8 months old according to the vet but now 3 mos older. She follows me all around! I practically trip on her. She is very LOUD! Wants to play NON stop all day long! I love her and she is beautiful but she is also exhausting! Many toys but she wants attention all day! So be prepared!

[@SharonMacDonald-by3zt]

They're so smart ,little tornados, full of love and playfulness. ❤❤❤

[@debralawrence3582]

My baby loves 100 percent affection, attention they are the best

[@OIOIBAKAAA-nobody]

Also, they are VERY cuddly! They will usually cling onto the person they love the most! That’s why they’re called “Velcro cats”

[@moneymike5742]

Best cat you can get ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sneakycat1971]

I have one that came to me as a stray. It doesn't like to play or climb. It does however love to be petted. It will follow you around like a dog.

[@BREASHONTELL]

No Salem plays but inside my Bombay chills with me in the bed for hours 😂😂❤

[@bruh_man124]

[@Lucy_cat502]

[@gorporpio]

Mine will always be a playful, loving, loyal, super kitten. Follows me everywhere. Talks alot. You won't have to buy any toys because to him, everything's a toy.Cutest kitty I've ever had. Climbs vertical 6 foot 4x4"s with ease. Gonnna be professional wrestler when he grows up.

[@666VIC]

My Bombay didn't get the memo about not laying around

[@heykerryann]

Mine is a mommas girl and a talker 😸

[@iusearchbtw4969]

Buying? what do you talking about, i never paid single pennies for all of my 10 cats i just took them from the streets

[@GRT27]

Mine won’t even allow me to close the door to shower, she just body slams it till I open it, while my Russian blue is like a loaf of bread😂😂😂

I have a bombay cat🐈‍⬛

[@kennethbrown7627]

Great cats , the best

[@lauriekutcher4825]

It is not the human that owns the cat. The cat has quietly infiltrated though stealth the training of their human.

[@timhobbs5883]

I've had two in my short life. 65. They live long n love you to the end. I have a Cali. Now not even the same. Same goes with the orange cats.or tiger's. My cat is fighting rite now.

[@Jodieats]

Same goes for tabby cats I rescued a 2 year old male tabby his names Oscar he is the neediest cat I’ve ever met in my life but I love him like I birthed him myself he’s very affectionate he NEVER hisses he doesn’t scratch my things only his and he’s VERY playful definitely my little hunter and enjoys head kisses and bottom rubs🤣🤣💙🫶🏾🫶🏾😊🐈 🌎

[@Amaend8]

Oscar is a cool name. it reminded me of Scar from lion King 🚬😸

[@IDontKnow-pf6en]

my Black Bombay Cat is the very bestest! God Bless!

[@1sweetwhirl]

Basically a dog in a cat suit lol

[@Dressage_Diva_in_Pink]

Yep definitely I say to Mer that he’s the puppy that purrs and the pup of the house 😊

[@pvdp2]

Cute😻

[@Rinamaesvasquez]

I have Bombay cat🖤

[@garyowen9044]

Don’t get a Bombay cat, get two. Trust me, minimum two - so they have a playmate.

[@urnewfavasmr]

THEYRE LOUD AND DEMAND TO GO OUTSIDE A LOT

[@Waltz-f9s]

YEEEES

[@glasslinger]

"Buying" a cat is your first mistake! Go to the pound and SAVE a cat!

[@alexbroski7763]

Where are the other 6 things?

[@7thrx]

[@DazzleTheBlackCat]

Noob, this is advice for all cats. Who are you, Sherlock Holmes ? Explain yourself, human.

[@Xz_Mattia]

In the summer or in the Spring I will get a bombay

[@Misty_Wilson]

My bombay is literally fat and lazy

[@Waltz-f9s]

Are they strong though? Like, thick and firm? Because mines is lazy too but is super strong, his brother is super erratic though

[@bastir.826]

These arguments are both in favor and against having a cat

[@lenitaa7938]

Basically, a cat!

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

It is a dog

[@SansTrolledYou]

Yep, I probably found him in my apartment stairs. But he's fat tho.

[@joniangelsrreal6262]
