Question
HI!  Could you tell me if the following cat
is a particular breed that you are aware of?

My personal research indicates that he may
have been part Bombay.

All black except few white stray hairs PLUS
small white patch in under side - near tail area.

VERY BIG.  I always said he looked like a panther.

Talked a lot.

Went for walks with us around the block - either by walking, or riding in a stroller basket.
Liked to sit and ride in toy riding vehicles.

Greeted our visitors.

Wasn't shy or scared of hardly anything.

Very loving.  Wonderful lap cat but nearly too
big for our laps.

Very long legs which made him tall.
Very long tail - curled when he walked.

Thanks very much!
 
P. S.  I can send you a photo if you wish.

It is impossible to state phenotypcally what your cat is.
It may look like several breeds (phenotype) and having small patches of white would suggest it is not a pure bombay.
Black suggests burmese type of cat but even with a picture it would be almost impossible to state exactly what he is
Do send a picture to raymondwigley@gmail.com and I will try to work out the breed
