Local stray has long fangs, long black hair, green eyes and normal nose. Could he be a Bombay?

Question

Neighbor says he is, but I have my doubts.

I've never seen a cat whose fangs stuck out when his mouth was closed. He does have a shiny black coat that I think is like a Bombay.

Answer 1

I got a bombay from the rspca, they said he was a domestic short hair but when I took him to the vet, my vet went crazy she was a bombay breeder!! and fell in love with him....

have a look on the net for photos of bombays you'll be able to tell trust me.

Answer 2

Bombay's are black, But you can see hints of sable brown when you see them in the light. They always have very shiny, Short coats. They have a flat nose, Too. And very big round gold eyes. I know because I thought my black cat was one and I think he is. They are also very vocal.

Answer 3

Bombay's are more chocolate, they're not black.  

Without papers, the cat would only be considered a domestic shorthair, not any particular breed. Fang length is genetic, some do have longer fangs than others, it's not a sign of any specific breed.

Considering Bombay's have gold to orange eyes and you said this one had green, it's not a Bombay.
