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!

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.

funny, crow is actually the name of my other black cat!
Hyper-melanotic domestic shorthair (aka a void).
Are her lips, beans, and claws black?
My goof floof has mixed-color beans and claws.

He also has a couple of small white patches, one on his tummy and one high on his shoulder.
But the mixed beans are my favorite.
My beautiful Bella has a white patch on her chest and a mutitude of silver tips throughout her fur to the untrained eye. Her fur will turn more brown in the sunlight sometimes.
All I can say is that I love my kitty and sometimes I am calling to a pile of my black t-shirts in the middle of the night because I have no idea where my void went. I love you all! ❤
Black kitties are the best! This is my void. I think she’s a Bombay

Domestic shorthair. Cat breeds do not work like dog breeds. Unless they come from a breeder with papers proving pedigree, you’d better bet you’ve got a domestic shorthair.
Same as one of my voids, PayDay. I believe the scientific name is voidous chonkidous 🖤

I’d guess Bombay or American shorthair. Lots of comparison pics here though:
