My two cat's are rescues. The vet says they are part Maine Coon. The girl cat has is the full body picture her brother is just the close up of the face. She weighs about 10 lbs and he is about 16lbs. They are friendly with most people but can be skittish around my son's friends because they are so loud. They love to splash in their water dish, climb, and are great mousers. They also are great at snuggles and especially love my son and will snuggle with him all night long.

Ah, so fluffy! I love them!

Most cats don't have any purebred heritage. We call them domestics. So yours would be domestic longhairs, DLH for short.

While Maine Coons are descended from the big fluffy farm cats in the NE US, and therefore a lot of cats share the same traits, I don't see any indication of purebred MC in them.

Maine Coons have a very specific body type, muzzle shape, and ear type/set. I don't see any of those features in your kitties. They are gorgeous Domestic Longhairs.

IF they have an Ancestry, I would sooner seek this in Norwegian Forest Cats. Esp the girl has a quite a triangularish muzzle.
And believe it or not, the Norse tend to be two coloured...

Norwegians are practically as big as MCO.

So, if an Ancestry is important for you, call them for Norwegian descendants... :)
