Old style Persians ARE purebred. They just aren't show quality, just like Applehead Siamese or Old Style Siamese are purebred.

I don't think these kittens look like Doll Faced Persians though, I think they look like mixed breeds. Maybe part Persian, but not purebreds.

Whatever they are, they are gorgeous, and lucky to have found such a nice home with you! The white one looks like some sort of Persian mix maybe....and the tabby ones reminds me a bit of a Maine Coon Mix...but i'm not expert on that topic. Whatever they are, they are both quite stunning!!! I'd love to see some more pictures of them!

thanks goldenkitty, Little troublemaker the siamese guy
Quickly as I can is thursday, that's the only appointment left at the vet's. Well I'll keep them seperated as I can, though it's a little impossible in this house.

Callista, I could't agree more with you ! They really are beautiful, not the long coat and cute faces, they really taccept me as their mother, they talk to me with their eyes , maybe i'm nuts but they do
I have another orange tabby, nearly 2 years, and he's the same. He *talks*, when he comes and I talk to him, he simply meows back as to corrispond me, he's fantastic. I was just curious about their resemblense ( told about my father that was *conned* in buying them without the pedigree papers*)

Hopehacker, Well, can be as you say too. I saw the mother and father, they *looked* persians, but I'm not a persian expert anyway

I guess there are differences between Sweden and the US in this matter. In Sweden (Europe) you simply won't find purebred Persians with the old style look.

We don't have Applehead Siamese or Old Style Siamese here either.

And by old style look in the Persian I mean really old such as these cats:

I haven't seen many that look like those in the pictures. I have seen a lot of Doll Faced Persians, they have a bit more of a nose than the Peek Faced Persians, but I think they're more beautiful. I don't know if you get the Fancy Feast Commercials in Sweden, but the Fancy Feast cat is a Doll Faced Persian. Here, Doll faced Persians aren't accepted for show, although I think they SHOULD be, neither are Applehead Siamese, although both Doll faced Persians and Applehead Siamerse can have Pedigree papers.

The shaded silvers and chinchilla silver (which is the Fancy Feast cat) tend not to be as extreme as the other color persians - which I like too

Gorgeous kitten, and Muxu is so beautiful also.

I for one would say that they are purebred Persian, just pet quality ones.

As for their color the white one, is white with green eyes. And the brown one is probably a Classic Brown Tabby. I would have to see her sides to tell you if it's the right classification. A Classic Tabby has a bulleye in his/her tabby pattern.

I will take some more pictures when hubby brings camera from work (he's a photografer) and will take pics of her sides then. She has like nlond small highlights in the sides but I guess pics are better to see

If her tabby markings are like long lines, then she will be a Mackerel Tabby.

This is a Mackerel tabby

And this is a Calssic tabby
