Not Sure What My Cats Might Be?

[Ms.Lovemycats]

I just got these three stray cats and they’re all littlermates, the on circled in green is a boy and so is the one in yellow, the one in blue is their sister. I love them to pieces . I was wondering if anyone here as an idea of what kind of mix they could be? To my eyes the two brothers look so different I’m wondering if they might have different fathers. Thank you so much for your time. also I haven’t decided on names for them yet so if anyone has any ideas? Thank you!!

The kitty circled in yellow would be a brown mackeral tabby Domestic Shorthair. The kitty in green a brown classic (aka marbled or bullseye) tabby Domestic Shorthair. Can you post a sideview of the sister so I can see her pattern?

They are all lovely cats!

 

[Ms.Lovemycats]

Thank you! Yes I will try to get a good picture of her

Mackerel tabby is more dominant than classic tabby. So a father whom is a mackerel tabby may have both genes - and get half kittens mackerel tabby and half classic tabby...

So, it may be so they do have different fathers, but its not necessary to be so.

Otherwise, I think they shall be counted as domestic short hair, DSH, all three of them.

Thank you!! I don’t know much about cat breeds but my cats fit the description for domestic shorthairs. I’m going to include picture of the blue cat my girl just because I said I would but I got the answer I wanted thank you Ayeb and thank you stefanz.

Yes i agree to i believe he could be Maine coon they are a very hairy and quite large breed he sure does fit the profile. He is beautiful. Maine coons come in all shapes and colors i love orange cats i live in michigan and orange cats are pretty rare at least in my general area lol. Most vets or animal shelters may be able to tell you what kind he could be just show them his picture those places see tons of cats at all breeds if you want to know exactly what he is a vet can do a dna test on him

God bless you for taking them in i think that is so wonderful when strays get homes i to took in a stray unfortunately i could only take in one we already have other animals to but i was so glad i took him in he has been such a joy to have around. I would say they are domestic shorthaired tabby cats they are so beautiful.
