I wrote a blog post on 4 beautiful types of black cat eye color that you may see, you can read it here… My Final Thoughtsĭuring the 3-year journey that I’ve been on, exploring the world of black cats, I generally come across the American Shorthair and the Bombay Cat.

When researching for this blog post I also saw people asking the question ‘do black cats always have yellow eyes?’.

They may weigh somewhere between 10-15 pounds when they are mature while a female mature American Shorthairs may weigh between 8-12 pounds. Yearly, vaccinations, regular vet checkups, a good diet, and plenty of playtime and love is what is needed for these black cats (and all cats actually lol).Īmerican Shorthair male cats are bigger than the females. They are known to be healthy, playful as well as robust in nature with almost no genetic defects compared to other cat breeds.Īmerican Shorthair cats fur require little or no maintenance at all. These cats originated from Great Britain, having been introduced to America via the Mayflower Ship. However, they can also play by themselves, having a lot of fun… He really lets you know when it’s playtime! Our American Shorthair called Coco does this a lot. These cats are frequently in the mood to play, some are known to bring their owners a toy and meow suggesting that they want to play.

This is attributed to the fact that these cats are very beautiful and friendly. Here’s another black cat with green eyes…Īn American shorthair ranks among the top ten in popular breeds, according to CFA (Cat Fanciers Association of America). The breed was created in the 1950s by Nikki Horner her aim was to create a small panther-like breed of a pure black cat.Īfter a couple of attempts, she was able to create the cat that we have now with rich eye color and striking looks.
