We fostered this kitty, and I reckon she's got Bombay in her, what do you think? I took more photos of the kids rather than her, but you can get a fairly good idea on how she looks. My neighbour ended up adopting her, and I was telling her how I thought she had Bombay in her (it's a real Bombay face I think), and I thought I would get some more expert opinions on this

Somebody actually dumped her and the 5 kittens outside the shelter door can you believe?? She is an absolute sweetheart as well and was such a good mum. My neighbour came to see the kittens and fell in love with Cleo, so went in to the shelter once they'd all gone back and adopted her.

So I get to see Cleo regularly still, and can cat sit whenever my neighbour goes away which is nice!

I'm not good with cat breeds, but I do know that she is very pretty!

I've done a bit of Googling for Bombays, and I find cats that look like the one you posted, and ones that look like Cleo (some pics here).

I'll just settle for her being gorgeous I guess....

What a gorgeous gal! And she has the most stunning eyes! I'm not too good with pedigree breeds, but she is one amazing looking girl! Congrats on her adoption!!

Bombays look exactly like Burmese, only black, with very distinct copper eyes.

Regardless, there's just something impossibly beautiful about black cats, and she's certainly no exception.
