this was edited DOWN to a stub by someone who said the data i put into it is not verifiable...

well im restoring it to what it was with the open invitation to come and watch my cat (yes i actually own the beauty in the picture) or get a book about cat breeds and read up on their personalities... its all verifiable and i will be finding some sources to verify it... so leave it alone and actually look somewhere OTHER than online for facts... try a library the book "encyclopedia of the cat" or something similar to that, i forget the title now

update, ive included 3 external links to help verify the information

yeah i got the book here... encyclopedia of the cat it contains stuff about the personality of the bombay breed, ill find the page and reference it inside the article later on

Last section doesn't seem to be written in a formal tone. Rest of article seems okay, though.

[edit] Personality Section

The section on personality seems to be in parts describing domestic cats in general and in others describing an individual animal (presumably the one pictured). Please remember that this is a resource for people interested in Bombay cats as a breed and not just your pet, beautiful as it may be

- No, I didn't write that article - I just provided the picture of the cat.

[edit] picture of british bombay cat

it looks precisely like my cat, it's almost uncanny.. the little bald patches above the eyes, the little red spot and even a few grey/white hairs below her neck?

is that typical of all british bombay cats?

- mine looks EXACTLY the same Kiarasexton 01:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone noticed the seeming telepathy of the Bombay? We are disabled and run a cat sanctuary of Bombays. Before I have a panic attack, my (indoor) Bombays come to be and get me to pet them to calm down. Before my (also) disabled room mate has a seizure, the (indoor) Bombay warns us. With one look they can tell you exactly what they want and when you have provided it, they seemingly "reward" you with some sort of affection for being as smart as they are, LITERALLY. I was NOT a cat lover going into this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxicon (talk • contribs) 21:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
