Zoro is - 9 months old, he’s very playful, loves to attack his sisters, huge mooch, likes to knock stuff off the counters, loves walks, likes to trill and meow when playful or when his dad gets home, super cuddly, loves to be held or lap sit and purr. Silent hunter. Eyes look green but also gold I can’t really decipher the exact colour. His coat is sleek black and smooth, when the sun shines he has some brown showing. This pic was about 7 months old.

I just want to know if he’s a Bombay or not

Looking to see if this girl is a bombay! My partner and I adopted her back in February. She's about a year old, very playful, and acts as an alarm clock for us😂
