I'm wondering if the first one is a Snowshoe with the white lip and paws? I know they usu. have white "masks", right?

Don't some Siamese have white markings?

The second one - could he just be a wedgie-head Siamese or have some oriental shorthair in him with those big bat-wing ears? Actually, on second look, he has a really interesting face and head shape... shorter and broader. Rex maybe? Again, I am NO expert.

Regardless, they are both gorgeous!

Its hard to see from the pics, but the 2nd one is pretty hairless on most of his body, and does have a lot of the sphynx type wrinkles in his skin.

The second cat looks like it could be a Devon rex (mix), the first looks Snowshoe.

Do they have wrinkles and greasy skin like a sphynx? We have 4 of them that were picked up by animal control at various times (all unneutered, clearly used for breeding). They have to be bathed a lot because their skin gets really oily and gross and they all have eye problems


ETA: all the Devon Rex pictures I pulled up show a cat with fur. These cats, although he has the short fur underneath, is completely hairless on his back/head, etc.

Its hard to say because I haven't picked her up and when I saw her she was hiding, but she is a decent sized cat. Not tiny and delicate at all!
She does have a tiny little meow though.
