There are always challenges in breeding cats, and these exclusive Bombays are no exception. Bombay numbers have declined in recent years. It is important for the breeders to attract new people into the breed and for new owners of these superb pets to have an insight into the breed, so that the successes of the past can be built upon in the future. Attention needs to be paid to the continued genetic vitality of the breed. It seems that in recent years a number of breeders have refined their lines in a "closed cattery" situation. While this does indeed provide greater consistency in the quality of the cats they produce, it can also lead to limiting the improvement of the line, e.g., the line can reach its genetic potential, and then cannot be further improved. Judicious outcrossing is essential to maintain progress in the overall quality of the breed.
Bombays will always have a devoted following. They will continue to bring joy to those who breed them, those who show them and those who simply live with them. Frankly, they're addicting.
