Turkish wiki also says Tombili, and these Turkish articles also uses Tombili?

Well I'm Turkish and used to live in Kadıköy. I never heard anyone calling this cat Tombili. It was always Dombili. It seems someone made a mistake and it stuck with it.

Maybe you were making the mistake?

[-] BurnedDonut@ani.social 5 points 4 months ago

Well anyone can make a mistake. But for this kind of a mistake I should be first forgetting my mother tongue so that I wouldn't know if the word "Tombili" is in the language and secondly I would have to start having memory problems about this very cat and where I've been living at the time. So yeah anything is possible.
