OK, unless you have other proofs, they are domestics.   What is interesting here, are their looks, both are a little especial.

The one is a creme point.  ("siamese mix").  Creme is diluted red.  Being creme its so bleak its in some postition barely visible, and thus, you perhaps dont even see the classical masque on the face, if you dont know its there.  But you see the tail and ears are somewhat colored - its sometimes easier to see the point color in there.

The other is longhaired kitty.

The  genetics and hereditary is quite similiar in both cases!

The gene is recessive, and unvisible in a carrier, who carrys just one gene.  It must be doubled up to show.  One from mom, one from dad...  The parents themselves could have almost any appearance.  almost - the body colors are inherited from the parents, thus we do get a hint what colors the parents did carried. 

Also, if the parents had some striking physical looks, it will be visible on the child too.   You usually recognize a child of a persian.  Or a child of a modern siamese or oriental...

The siamese ancestor could be even 50 genereations back, as we can see in the purebred Russian Blues, where now and then is borne a pointed kitten - becasue way back in the 60 years ago, they used some blue point siameses in the breeding programme.
