Like the Savannah or the Bengal cat, the Bombay cat is a feline with a feral appearance. Despite the name, Bombay cat, they are not from Bombay, India, but the name was rather given by the American Breeder, who wanted to develop a domestic breed that resembled a black leopard. Nikki Horner named the breed “Bombay” because it resembled the black leopards of that exotic port town in India. Despite their silky appearance, they are social butterflies who love to keep close to their beloved owners.

Maine Coons are known as the “gentle giants” of cats. They are built to withstand harsh winters since their tufted paws serve as built-in “snowshoes” and their thick fur keeps them warm. Their thick tails also help them regulate body temperature by allowing the cats to use it as a blanket to wrap around their bodies when they’re cold. Unlike some other cats, Maine Coons love water and their coats are moisture-repellant.




8. British Longhair
