Can Bombay cats have tiny white patches?

My husband and I just adopted two kittens and one is so much like a typical Bombay profile, that I just have to ask. She, Angel, has copper/orangish eyes, a tiny patch of white on her chest and on her belly but the rest is black, even the whiskers.
Her tempermant even matches a Bombay. She always begs in her light voice to curl up on my lap when I'm sitting down.
As for the other one, Tiger, we think he's a tabby mix but he looks a lot like Norwegian Forest. His eyes are even the same color as hers! They didn't come in the same litter though.

No, white spots are disqualifying. Bombays have very round heads and large round eyes.

Tiny white spots may occur within any type of cat due to some kind of disturbance in the pigments development.

However, your black cat don't look like a Bombay to me.

If the cat hasn't got a pedigree or doesn't come from a breeder, you most likely don't have purebred cats.

Purebred Bombays don't have any white patches. The little black really doesn't resemble a Bombay (CFA standards). Bombays are more/less black Burmese - would have a much tighter, closer coat and more rounded head. Head is too pointy.

There might be more of a black oriental mix in there. The other is a cute Maine coon or NFC mix - both are very pretty

Thank you all for your input!
Now, what type of oriental mix is mostly black? I've only seen 1 type of one color orientals, white.
As for Tiger, I thought about him being a Maine Coon, but his tail isn't really bushy. Possibly a mix of both, if that can happen?

Orientals come in a very wide range of solid colours and markings including tabby and bicolour. I don't know how it works in the US, but in the UK the 'white oriental' isn't called an oriental, it's called a Foreign White and cannot be bred back to orientals, it's a separate breed.

Oriental (I think) have about 100 different color combinations Maybe more

They range from solid colors, tabby (classic, mackeral, spotted and ticked), bicolor, calico/tortie, and everything inbetween. Even the colors of cinnimon, fawn, chestnut.

Tolly is a black Oriental

In the UK under GCCF rules I make it over 200 colours/patterns including Self (solid), tabby, smoke, shaded and bicolour for OSH, and over 100 for OLH. That's an awful lot of colours to choose from!

Thanks, I forgot about the silver and smoke catagories - figured I was way off on how many. Should have just said "any and all combinations" and would have been safer. One of these days we will see Bengal patterned Orientals

Oh what sweet little kittens you have!
