Personality and Characteristics

Despite their wild appearance, they have a very affectionate and playful personality. Like the ENTJ type, they are intelligent, confident, and love to be in charge. They are very social and enjoy being the center of attention. Bombays are known to be lap cats and will seek out warmth and cuddles from their guardians.
