himalayan Mix or sort?

[The Gilmore boys]

Hi all

I just found this forum! I got these boys from a shelter that said they are himmie mix - but they both have white mitts and marking on chin & face, so wondering if they can be snowshoe mix or others? Thanks

Of note - I love my boys either way but was curious by their unique facial markings

A Himalayan is more like a persian so nope. Not a snowshoe mix as those are shorthairs only and that would make it impossible for your longhair kittens to be a mix. (For cats to be longhairs both parents must have the longhair gene and a snowshoe would not) I don't think birman as they must have white on all 4 feet. I'd say domestic long hairs colorpoint gene. So cute though!!

They are gorgeous withoit any history, papers etc. they are dlh seal point with white spotting. For possible look a likes look at neva masquerade/ Siberian, rag doll, and balinese. There are long hair snow shoes I think and Himalayans do not all have the flatter face, tiny nose etc.
