Just adopted these two cuties... wondering what they are :)

Hi all! We just adopted two 10 month old sisters from a shelter and they are doing very well so far. I was wondering if you could provide any insight on their possible genetics

Cheers!

Woah they are beautiful!! They look like they might have some Bengal ancestry, @stefanz should be able to clarify.

Aren't they beautiful?
I'm not sure about Bengal, but the little tufts of black hair on their ears are intriguing me lol.

Welcome to the Cat Site!

They are both beautiful kitties. I love cats with those swirly lines on their coats.

Yes, I agree.  Technically they are domestic shorthair, classic tabby.   BUT their marbles arent typical classic tabby bulle-eye, they remind much of the marbles of a marbled bengal.

Thus, very probable they do have some bengal Ancestry,  Granddad probably, possibly even natural daus...

If they seem very lively, energetic, etc, above average for young healthy cats - the possibility they are  natural daus increases.

If they behave as typical, healthy lively teenagers - the probablity is they are granddaus...

Guesswork, of course, to try and pinpoint.

Thanks everyone! We just had them for a couple days, so they are still a bit shy. But when I leave their dedicated room, I can hear them bouncing off the walls lol. They already destroyed the toys I got them... I'll need to buy more/better quality ones on my way home tonight.

Do a search for the different types of tabbies.  They are very cute!

Thanks

They definitely have higher than normal energy levels lol... It felt like sleeping in a fur ball hurricane last night. I think they have squirrel/monkey ancestors hahaha
