Caricature breeds Bombays and Burmese. They fill our home with their wonderful personalities, their beauty and their enjoyment of life. Visitors are greeted as new friends, and people who come to see our cats are always charmed by the bright-eyed, friendly 'greeting committee' that meets them at the door and, often, hops on their laps.
Come meet some of our cats...
Our Bombays
The Bombay breed was conceived as a 'mini-panther'. Glossy black coat, large, soulful copper eyes, they are beautiful. But beauty is not everything, and we love the affectionate personalities, the playfulness that lasts long into adulthood. Bombays are wonderful with families, do well as therapy animals - and delight the hearts of those who are fortunate enough to have one in their lives. You can see some of our treasured Bombays in the ranks of our 'Distinguished Merit' cats, and here are some more...
GC, BW, RW Lac Hong Anzo of Caricature came to us from Paris. His father was GC Caricature's Moses Gunn of Lac Hong, who made his home outside Paris. While he initially had some trouble understanding English, Anzo quickly adjusted to life in the States and is responsible for many of the lovely Bombay cats at Caricature. (And if you whisper to him in French, those gorgeous copper eyes will blink happily at you...)
GC, RW Caricature's Denzel Washington is happily retired at home now and responsible for some beautiful kittens. His sunny personality and bright eyes make him a favorite with the visitors, and the ladies enjoy his company, as well.
GC, RW Caricature's Josephine Baker has settled in to our cattery after achieving her Regional Win in the 2009 - 2010 season.
GC Bellegatti's Odetta of Caricature was named for the singer Odetta. A true lady of class, she fascinates everyone with her amazing eyes, which she has passed on to her kittens, some of them can be seen in the slideshow.
Bombay Kittens...
Bright-eyed, curious, friendly, fearless - those are our kittens. We handle them from birth, they roll around and play with friends and family and visitors - a special treat! - and sometimes they travel to New York city for modeling assignments (see Cattery News for more information).
Our Sable Burmese Cats
We at Caricature Cattery fell in love with the Burmese breed years ago. This mother-breed of the Bombay is notable for its wonderful, affectionate disposition and whimsical personality. We deal exclusively with Sable Burmese - rich brown with golden eyes. They delight us with their antics and charm us with their affectionate natures. Here are some of our Burmese beauties.
GC Caricature's Donato Bramante is the son of GP Sangazure's Patina of Caricature, DM, and the sire and grandsire of many of our beautiful Burmese and Bombays. Donato passes on to his offspring his wonderful affectionate nature and his beautiful face, coat and compact body. Visitors fall in love with him, and 'the ladies' love him, too.
Donato as a youngster
GC, RW Caricature's Shakira has given us some lovely kittens, including Mata Hari (shown in the 'kitten' section, below. A daughter of Donato and Suu Kyi, she is now helping her mother to run the household.
GC Caricature's Sita is the daughter of Karishma, whose photo is on these pages. She's a full-time mother with a brood of kittens that she's caring for. We're looking forward to posting photos. In the mean time, her bright eyes and glossy coat will make you smile!
GC Caricature's Siduri
Siduri explored everything as a kitten, meeting and greeting visitors. Now Siduri has kittens of her own, and she's enjoying being a mother as much as she loved being a kitten.
Kittens!
A newborn Burmese...
Who can resist a kitten? A mixture of whirlwind playfulness, sudden slumber and overwhelming sweetness - they charm us, exasperate us and make us laugh even when we're tired. Enjoy this show of photographs of some of our kittens.
...They're always up to something...

Our Burmese One-Show Grands!
GP Caricature's Stella Luna caused a bit of a stir when she became a one-show grand at the Siamese Alliance in Lebanon, PA in May of 2009. This lovely girl is the daughter of our own Donato Bramante and Aung San Suu Kyi. She lives very happily in New York with her owner, a choreographer for the Rockettes, taking frequent vacations to visit her owner's parents in Massachusetts. We were delighted when her sister, GC, GP Caricature's Donatella, duplicated the feat. 'Ella' lives with her owner in central Pennsylvania.

Our Burmese Kittens
Kittens In A Basket, anyone?
Our Sable kittens greet visitors, snuggle on laps, pounce on their buddies, roll around and generally love life. Like their Bombay cousins, sometimes they go to New York for modeling assignments (see Cattery News).
Mamie's Forever Home
GC Caricature's Mamie "Peanut" Johnson had given us some lovely kittens. We loved her, and when it was time for her to retire from motherhood, we were ready to keep her with us forever. But when we returned from the vet with her after she was spayed, there was a message waiting for us: a lovely lady in a retirement community was missing her cat and needed a companion. We knew it was the perfect spot for Mamie. There was a photo of her on her new owner's door, waiting when we brought her there, and she settled right in and became a valued member of the community, spreading smiles and laughter, giving her owner purpose and enjoyment. Mamie's Forever Home was the best we could have hoped for.
Forest Whittaker
It only took one look at a pair of bright copper eyes in a kitten's face to convince Forest's mother, Sharon, that he was meant to be part of their family. They had been mourning the passing of a wonderful black cat who had adopted them years before, and she felt, somehow, that Forest was the perfect fit. It took several months, but Forest came to them as GP Caricature's Forest Whittaker. He loves to chase crickets and moths, to watch birds through the window, and cuddle with his family.
GP, Caricature's Forest Whittaker
Thanks, Mom !
