In reply to the discussion: My life just got a whole lot better - Cats! Two of them! [View all]Ocelot II
(128,783 posts)18. He's dark gray, not black, and quite large. Bombays aren't that big.
Rare breeds like Bombays and Russian Blues aren't likely to turn up in shelters. They were surrendered because they didn't get along with the family dog - not likely that an expensive pedigreed cat would be given to a pet rescue.

You're so lucky. The top one looks so much like my beloved Stinker who died 15 years ago. I'll never forget him.

The top one looks like he has a good amount of taupe and the bottom looks dark slate. Nice looking boys.
