It's kinda sad that after 18 years I don't know what kind of cat that I have, but there you go. She is all black, has a sort of roundish head. You can go to the 2 websites below to see a picture of her. I'm really curious. Thanks!

Hi Doug...she appears to a black domestic short hair (DSH) cat. Here's a couple photos of black DSH like your girl:

She also may be a Bombay cat breed, however without registered papers it's difficult to be sure so most feline advocates would indicate she's a DSH. If you knew she came from a litter that had different looking siblings she would be confirmed a DSH.
The Bombay is a shorthair breed of domestic cat, closely related to the Burmese. The Bombay is noted for its shiny black coat and copper eyes and for its affectionate and playful temperament. http://www.fanciers.com/breed-faqs/bombay-faq.html

She looks like a black DSH (domestic short hair) which is not a "breed". If her eyes are blue (and they certainly are in the pictures) then she has to have some Siamese genes.
Congratulations on having a healthy looking cat like that. You must be a very good cat caregiver.

I don't know the breed but you have a beautiful cat. Be thankful for 18 yrs.. I had my beautiful girl for 16 she died of cancer. My handsome boy died at 16 of old age and I think grief of losing his sister.

She is really cute! She's probably an American Short Hair. It's kind of a catch-all for cats who are mixed.

You have a none too rare black domestic short hair, but adorable none the less.
