If you don't have papers on them they would just be called domestic longhair cats actually in the case of the second one it is probably a domestic medium hair. They're very pretty, but you really shouldn't breed cats that don't have papers. There's too many domestic cats in the world already. Breeding should only be done on purpose for the preservation of a breed. The one in the second picture seems to have a calico or tortie look to her. The black patches on her are really interesting. Pretty, but of no particular breed probably.

Interesting! Are there homes for cats over there? If you were to breed or were you planning to keep all the kittens? The second cat is so unique. I've never seen a cat with black patches like that. Where did they come to you from?

hi , we don't have any govt led organization here and close to none personals working on it ,also no fixed law regarding all these. as u know being the most popular pet many ppl fancy them even here and have them as pets . village ppl gets along with them most. like all other countries many walks free in roads ,parks and dustbin :(. breeders have no rules here except for commonsense , many even import from abroad . im a cat lover and always had cats . now i have three cats . one i rescued from street . i named her khucha. the one u asked about is a tortoiseshell and i named her mao , when she was a kid her owner thought she was not worthy of keeping , may b the owner was a breeder - i don know that but she gave it away to my frnd . my frnd was not able to keep her so gave it to me - he knew i cant say no to this. after coming to me she took a wonderful flower print coat  and a very nice tail - also blue and green ring around her pupil . she is the moodiest one . the Himalayan  (name parsi) came to me cause the breeder thought its not a proper Persian and he is not that valuable . people are not that used to Himalayan cats here - i took him for his good health . thats a very simple story and breeding is not actually my intent here as i won a small manufacturing  company of my own and actually won national awards for that.

Both cats are quite odd colored...  On number one, "the himalayan"  if she were a kitten I would suspect is fever coat.  But it disappears with age, as adults they get their true colors - often blackish, so its not fever coat...

The eyes arent blue at all, so she cant be very seal  point.    Some domestic points gets coloring which would be odd with a purebred.  But when they eyes arent blue or even bluish, she cant be no himalayan - which is a point of the "siamese-mix" type - the name used often on longhaired cats of persian type.

My guess is

She has perhaps at least one burmanese point in her, possibly both point genes are burmanese.   This could give such a result.

Burmanese proper are shorthaired.  There is nothing such as a longhaired burmanese.  But with mixes we never know.

The other - difficult too, I suspect its some sort of diluted tortie, that is why the light parts looks almost white.  Especielly on the photo nr 2 where you held both of them, its rather clear.  On the first photo, when she(?) is laying down, it isnt that clear.

Torties are usually female.  Male torties do happen, but its seldom, and of these few, most are more or less sterile.

The third cats looks interesing  him too - he is perhaps some sort of Bangladesh local specilty?

Anyways, the face is almost as of a mini-puma.   :)
