We really think they are. They're only 7 months old but HUGE. They're SUUUUUUPER friendly and outgoing! They should be about 14lbs at full grown. And they look muscular and are definitely long boys. Almost all the personality description of Bengals applies to them other than the not being a lapcat thing, they'll climb on us and snuggle for however long they want so they're more lap cats than Bengals. Here are some pictures of them :p

I know that brothers can be from different fathers. I only got to see a picture of their mother with them when I chose them (got them off of someone on craigslist). I know without papers they're just DSH so all we can do is speculate as to what they are until cat breed tests come out.
Bonus pics of them being adorable together:

They’re both very cute- but I’m not really seeing Bengal. Bengals only come in spotted, marbled, and rosetted pattern, not mackeral like Rick. Morty is marbled, but red isn’t a Bengal color. Bengals would also have a leaner body, and a smaller head in proportion. There’s not any breed that’s really screaming at me with these guys- but I could be missing something. We’ll see what the other posters think. :)

I want to add striped tabby dominates over marbled tabby so they can easily have same father although two different tabby and colors . You saw the momma what was she like? Tortie perhaps?

Ah that's fair. Was only hoping. Their tummies are spotted though which is pretty cool.
