Bombay Cats : Dive into the World of Sleek, Black Beauty!

The Bombay cat is a short-haired breed of domestic cat with a solid black coat and large copper-golden eyes, named after the Indian city of Bombay. Originating in the United States and Thailand, Bombays are known for their fun-loving, friendly, affectionate, alert, and extroverted nature. These cats are intelligent and outgoing, getting along well with family, other pets, and friends. Bombays are…

I am Declaring Jan. 13, Friday, “Black Cat Day.”

Friday the 13th is coming! That means it’s “unlucky” in America. Black cats (all black animals) are still quite discriminated against and can be the last adopted in shelters, along with “special needs” and elderly animals.

You’d think this is fake, like uncommon in 2023, but my neighbour 2 years ago had an out-loud, loud conversation with her adult kids about how my elderly black cat being in the grass across the street, was an ill omen and needed to be avoided.

Miss Squeak E. Mouse has only ever been a sweet old grandma cat. She escorts baby ducks to and from ponds to keep hawks away. She hangs out with possums because they’re gentle and scared, like she often.

And these people make threatening tones and speeches about how this tiny, 6-7lb black cat, is secretly evil.

I think Friday the 13th needs to be Black Cat Day.

You know what, post ALL your black animals. Remind people how freaking cool they are, undeserving of this BS “bad luck” superstition.

What's wrong with bombay cats ethically? Hadn't heard of that one.

Bombay cats, as a breed created by crossing the Burmese and American Shorthair breeds, are known to have a genetic disorder called “Burmese Head Defect”. One copy of the gene gives the Bombay cat the desired brachycephalic head shape and large eyes as required by the breed standard, whereas two copies of the gene cause lethal deformities of the skull (incomplete development of the skull above the jaw, missing eyes and ears, double whisker pads, protrusion of the brain from the skull, and more). Kittens with this defect are born stillborn or require immediate euthanasia as they would not be able to survive with any quality of life. You can read more about the condition here.

All that to say that, like Munchkins or Scottish Folds, it is “desirable” to breed cats with a single copy of a lethal trait, as it has aesthetic aspects encouraged by the breed standard. While not all bombay cats have this gene and not all breeders intentionally breed cats with this gene I don’t think it is particularly ethical to purposefully breed cats to a breed standard that encourages the aesthetic of genetic defects. Even though the single gene version of the cats are able to survive, brachycephaly has been proven to lower a cat’s quality of life significantly, and their large eyes also make me question whether or not they have vision problems. In bombay cats even without the gene, they will still suffer from the brachycephaly present in the breed standard and show circles, which comes with its own health problems.

(These are all show/breeding quality bombays- thanks @catsindoors for sharing them with me!)

If your breed standard is inherently tied to traits that limit a cat’s quality of life, I don’t think it is ethical to breed those cats. This goes for Burmese, Munchkins, Scottish Folds, extreme Persians/Himalayans/Exotics, and unfortunately Bombays.

#as with any of the cat breeds I consider unethical if you have one of those cats no judgement #all cats are wonderful creatures and deserve good homes #judgement is reserved for the breeders who think breeding cats like those are okay #the purpose of cat breeds should be improving quality of life first #aesthetics second #thanks for the ask! #ask #Bombay #Burmese #anon #burmese head defect #pet injury mention #pet death mention
