I think your cat Fluffers may be a Bombay. Bentley is, were pretty sure. We rescued him from a barn so were not quite sure. Here is a page from 'The Royal Canin Cat Encyclopedia Pg. 83-86 on Bombay's. (I can't get a picture but here is a description)
It says 'Bombay's are athletic, playful, curious, and remarkably agile. They are also excellent hunters. Bombay's can live with dogs, but do not always get along with other cats. Affectionate and extremely gentle, the Bombay loves to snuggle, though often restricts his affection to it's owner. Though less talkative then the Burmese, the Bombay has a rather husky voice.' The book also says 'Coat: Short and very close lying with a shimmering sheen. Colour: Black only. Skin and paw pads are also black. Definite eye colour attained by six months of age.' If this sounds like your cat, then he/she may be a Bombay. Their eye colour is a bright gold/copper. Though, it can be green by fault.
