This cat has that magical combination of deep copper eyes and a patent leather, slick and shiny black coat. The Bombay cat is shorthaired and semi-cobby. Bombay cats are surprisingly heavy for their size. The head is round and the muzzle short but not snubbed like the Ultra Persian. This cat is moderate in appearance. However, apparently, in some organizations a more extreme appearance is desired (e.g. a shorter muzzle).

TORILAND PASSION OF CHAPARRAL is top (by a clear margin) of TICA Alter Standings as at 12th November 2008 and won best Alter at The International Cat Association’s 2008 Annual Championship Cat Show on August 31, 2008 in Arlington, Texas. PASSION is a very special cat.
