Bombay — Kitten Care
Care recommendations — Kitten stage
During the kitten stage, feed a kitten-formulated diet to support steady growth, and keep vaccinations and deworming on schedule as recommended by a vet. The short, glossy coat needs only occasional wiping or brushing to keep its shine. Starting a gentle grooming routine now, while a Bombay kitten is small and adaptable, tends to make handling far easier once it's grown. This early window is also valuable for socializing a Bombay kitten to people, other pets, and everyday household sounds.
⚠️ Watch for
Most of the conditions linked to Bombay cats tend to appear later in life, so this stage is mainly about tracking normal growth: steady weight gain, bright eyes, a good appetite, and normal litter box habits. If anything looks off this early — such as an unusual facial structure, noisy breathing, or feeding difficulty, usually noticed early in life — a prompt check-in with a vet is worthwhile rather than waiting.
