Hello, I would really appreciate your guys'help in finding out my cats breed, I have always been curious about what my cats breed is but I never got to find out, and now that I found this website I thought that I should ask you all.
The first one (white) is Pixie she's 8 months old, I adopted her and the only thing i know about her parents is that her father is a snowshoe. As for the second cat (orange), his name is Finix, he's 1yo and he was a stray cat, i found him wounded so I saved him, so i don't know anything about his parents.
Thank you all.

Your cats are very pretty! I am rotten with cats that are primarily white - so many variables. But, with neither having pedigree papers, they both will be considered domestic cats. Both look to be long haired, based on their tails being so fluffy. Both also have tabby markings, in terms of the 'M" on their foreheads. The orange (red) colored cat, Finix, looks to be a classic tabby with white, given what looks like the standard 'bullseye' on his side.

Someone else is going to have to come along and better define Pixie (sorry).

Just to agree to the opinions above. Two stunning beautiful cats. If they are people friendly and likes to be handled, you should do well with them on a Cat Show, in the HouseHold Pet class... (ie domestic cats without known pedigree)

Pixie is a point, or what people often says, a "siamese-mix". Now it doesnt helps us much further, because the point gene is widely spread in the cat gene pool... As far as we know, both her parents may be moggies. And its not necessary they themselves are points... Ps. I notice you write dad was a "snowshoe". So father was a point; momma may be a pointed too, or a non pointed carrier...
Snowshoes are a rare breeed, so most probable, he was himself a look alike, ie a seal point and white.

She is whitish on the body, no trace of blackened skin, so a) she was probably always an inside only cat / lives in warm climate b) she isnt seal, so she is probably a blue.... (both parents must be carriers of the dilute gene) And if daddy wasnt a tabby / lynx, so momma must be...

So, domestic short hair, lynx blue point is my guess...
She may be white spotted somewhere but not visible on this photo... Because if daddy was white spotted, there is at least a 50% chance she got it too... Its a dominant gene, if she got it, she will have white spots-

ps. Her having some white on chin and at eyes isnt no true white spot, its just characteristics for her being a tabby...

ps2... Nice story with Finix... A pretty sure way to get yourself a friend and protector, both in this world and thereafter... Because his soul will protect you even when he is no longer here...

Google has a neat feature called ‘Google Lens’ its an Al camera that claims to be 92% accurate with its results ( in reality it’s probably lower)
I uploaded screenshots of your babies and Pixies dominant feature came back as a Birman and Finix’s dominant feature came back as Main Coon.
