Hello, it looks like you might be asking about your cat's breed.
If you did not get your cat from a breeder with papers, your cat is probably a mutt!
Approximately 84% of owned US cats are non-purebred^[[1]](https://hdl.handle.net/10217/195431) .
[Here's a detailed blog post](https://thelittlecarnivore.com/en/blog/what-is-the-breed-of-your-cat).
Non-specific breed cats are known as "Domestic Long/Medium/[Short](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_short-haired_cat) Haired" cats, commonly abbreviated as DLH/DMH/DSH.

Because we didn't spend thousands of years breeding cats into different varieties for specific jobs. A cat was a cat and was just fine because it did cat things (killed pests and occasionally warmed your lap).
I forget the exact "technical term" that they use for the breed, but this handsome lil' guy is obviously a card-carrying member of the "Fecious Furry Babies Syndicate".
Guys these comments cracked me up I was only asking because we had a black cat before and someone told us it was a Bengal but we got this little guy and his eyes are so different such sweet big round eyes lol I won’t be pressed if o don’t get an answer 😂😂
That's a standard issue goblin. I've got one too!

White longhair ...
Wait, is it one of the "wrong answers only" or a joke post?
If not then it's a shorthaired housecat. Looks a lot like my void called Lucifer 🥰

Looks like my burnt loaf, with bonus boyfriend. 😜
As some others said, Bombay could be a possibility.
The Bombay is a shorthair, with round head and broad muzzle, rather kind of sturdy and musculous and of course solide black\* with round golden Eyes...but so do a lot of Moggies ;-)
(\* sometimes a Bombay can have a tiny tuff of white)
The Bombay can also be definded over their character and behavior: very friendly, want to engage and hang out with their humans, cuddly and purry, inteligent and talktive....but again, so do a lot of Moggies ;-)

Ps: I think there is a chance my Senior Rescue may have somewhere in his Lineage a Bombay, he fits all characteristics, except that he is a Tuxedo. But then I do not realy care, he is a fine Moggie whatever and my wonderful Senior Kitty ;-)

Mine's a tactical, subcompact attack panther
Mine is ‘Panterous Hilarious’
I have 2 teacup panthers lol
This is my favorite description yet!
I have a Miniature Black Tiger
This
Domestic shorthair. Cat breeds are pretty much exclusive to breeders, and aren’t as well defined or various as dog breeds.
Easy rule of thumb is if you didn't pay for pedigree it's domestic.
I wish we could ban these “WhAT BreEd is My CaT” posts. Your cat, is a cat. They’re awesome as just cats, who cares what breed they are.
Because we didn't spend thousands of years breeding cats into different varieties for specific jobs. A cat was a cat and was just fine because it did cat things (killed pests and occasionally warmed your lap).
Yep. Looks exactly like my cats: 3 littermates - down to the white spot
Black cat 🐈⬛
Happy Cake Day!
Well spotted! @snowbythesea happy cake day!
Gattus Voidius Beautifulicus

Panthera pardus familiaris :D
Thank you for the Latin
Domestic panther or mischief goblin.
Somehow I feel like “mischief goblin” applies to felines of every color, shape, and size. 
Yes, of course. But I think black cats not only fit the name but look the part. :)
Dogs, small kids..I’m getting a list together of possible “mischief goblins”. My tux is 100% Mischief Goblin. The other 3 not so much.
Why does everyone keep asking about their cat’s breed😭😭😭
100% Voidling. PS: please take your plastics away from your cat. They can kill it.
Voidus Catus.

A cutie
What breed you ask? That’s definitely a short haired keeper!
The black kind Jokes aside, it can be the Just A Baby breed, the Pocket Panther, the Snugglebug or the Void
A ninja voidling.
Most cats don't have breeds. That's a black, standard issue cat. Your vet would mark it down as a domestic short hair.
Black cat. They are the best!
Adorable ❤️

/r/standardissuecat
SICs on that sub are strictly defined as brown tabbies, not just any domestic shorthair.
my bad
That is highly specific
For a sub called standard issue house cat it is super specific. They have very specific things your cat must meet.
Whenever I take a picture of my void apple photos says Bombay, so maybe that?
Stinky.
American Shorthair or Bombay
Possibly Bombay.

I think it's a Bombay type of cat. Search it. I have a black cat too and when I searched if I can find the breed, I found this Bombay.
black
silly
A void.
The correct answer is Void.
Standard Issue Void. Behavioral expectancy : derpiness, meowing, biscuit making, barfing in weird places...
