all domestic short hair. A lot of folks on here will tell you if your unsure of the parents then they are all domestic ( insert fur length here).
Cute kitties though!

The two I can see look like good old domestic shorthairs, or DSH for short. If you don't know the parentage of a cat, and don't have papers indicating that they are a purebred, then you've got a DSH.
I have two DSH'es myself, and I can't imagine having any other kind! Both of mine were rescues...how did you acquire yours? If they are shelter cats, rescues, or were strays, then chances are they are DSH.

DSH brown tabby & white. there are multiple tabby patterns, & i can't see enough of his/her coat to make a determination. you can see all the tabby patterns here.

DSH - possible a van pattern - is his/her tail black also? there's info on the van pattern on the above mentioned website.

DSH black
there ya go!

Under the cats, mostly.
Spot on - three domesitc shorthairs - one golden tabby(from the picture, could be the flash!) with white, one black - though I'd guess that your second picture is also a silver tabby with a much higher percentage of white, if of course those darker patches are patterned. That's how they'd be described in our shelter, at least.

Yup, they are of the feline variety. Just kidding.

They are 3 beautiful DSH's for sure. I love the markings on the white one. Very pretty.

I love the markings on the white one! I have three white cats, one pure white and two with little grey smudges on their heads. I have never seen such definite markings as yours though. The black one is lovely too. In fact, they are all gorgeous DHS cats!
