The "breed" is a Domestic Short Hair(DSH.)
As for colorings, Mom is a "diluted" tortie,baby #1 is a tortie (female,) baby #2 is black, baby #3 looks like maybe a black tabby.

Agree.  I want to add, Mom´s overall look could otherwise pass for a Russian blue, surely of pet quality, but still, there is a RB-ish  look in her.

There is no tortie tendences in the RB, but they are diluted blacks, so I suppose she may have some connection with RB.   I dont know the genetics of whom the ohter significant should be to give a tortie result.    Perhaps she is someones daughter "outside marriage" as they say in Sweden??

Any way, you @saphire06 could perhaps say  she is a somewhat RB look alike in the body shape.  The eyes are green. This diluted tortie looks too quite rb grayish in dusk or without eyeglasses on you wont notice it is really a tortie...    :)

Good luck!
