Examples of black cat breeds



The Bombay is known for his sleek, black coat (that some say resembles patent leather). This designer breed was developed to retain the deep black color of the American shorthair and the sleek, muscular body of the Burmese. The resulting breed not only has these great looks but also has the easygoing personality of the American shorthair and the social nature of the Bombay.

The Chantilly-Tiffany cat comes in many colors (chocolate, cinnamon, lilac), but often has a soft black coat with a characteristically silky feel. These cats are both affectionate and demanding, social and loyal—which are some fantastic lap-cat qualities.

The Persian is everybody’s favorite flat-faced feline. Easily recognizable, this girl commonly sports a soft, glossy black coat. In fact, that coat is so high maintenance that many recommend Persians stay indoors so their coats can be kept in tip-top shape. (Not a bad idea, since all cats are safer inside anyway.)
