I am unsure what breed(s) my cats are, and am hoping someone can help me pinpoint it!
These are a few pictures of my cats -- Sherman is the orange one. I'm thinking he's just an Orange Tabby, but don't know if he could have underlying breeds or what-not. The 3 other cats in his litter were calico, tuxedo, and gray and white, and his mother was calico as well. He's mostly orange with a bit of white, and his tail is the most interesting -- he's got a dark orange stripe continuing from his back up the top of his tail, and around the tip he has 3 rings of white. I think he has a rather odd shaped face, as well. He is extremely long and skinny, and his tail is very, very long as well, and fluffy.
My other cat, Vinny, resembles a Snowshoe. His former owners originally told me he was a Siamese/Himalayan mix but I didn't think that was quite right so I began doing some research. Pictures I find of Snowshoes resemble Vinny, which lead to my thought he might belong to that family. He has no tabby in him, as he has no stripes at all. He's an average-sized cat, and his tail is normal sized also. Unlike Sherman, I think Vinny's face looks more "normal-shaped." Our vet has him listed as a domestic shorthair, but I just think there's more to it than that...
Can anyone offer their input?? Thanks!!
