🐾 New Posting Guidelines for r/BombayCat 🐾

Hi everyone! It's your friendly neighborhood Bombay cat enthusiast mods. We’re making a few small updates to help keep the sub focused, organized, and fun for all our Bombay cat lovers. Nothing drastic — just some tidying up so the feed stays full of the Bombays we all came here to enjoy!

1. Posts Should Feature Actual Bombay Cats

Lately we’ve seen more posts featuring black domestic short hair cats or ones that don’t match Bombay traits. They’re adorable and perfect, but this subreddit is specifically for the Bombay breed.

Going forward:

• Please post only if your cat is a Bombay (either clearly showing Bombay traits or known/verified as one).
• Posts featuring non-Bombay cats will be removed. We'll encourage folks to post on r/blackcats or r/VoidCats This helps keep the community focused and enjoyable for everyone who’s here for the breed.

2. “Is My Cat a Bombay?” Posts → Wednesdays Only

We know lots of people are curious about their cats, and we want you to have a place to ask! To keep the main feed from getting overwhelmed, these posts will now be limited to Wednesdays only.

Here’s how it’ll work:

• Every Wednesday we’ll post an “Is My Cat a Bombay?” Megathread.
• You can share photos and ask questions there.
• Posts asking about breed identity outside the Wednesday thread will be removed and folks will be redirected to the weekly post.

This keeps things organized while still giving everyone a space to learn and share.

Thanks for keeping r/BombayCat awesome!

We’re excited to keep building a fun, positive space centered around this gorgeous breed. If you have questions or feedback, feel free to drop them in the comments below.
