Answer
Hello--
It's almost impossible to tell the breed of many cats based on a picture.  Your cats could be anything from straight haired selkirk rex to pet quality persians to a siberian to a mixed breed.  Without a pedigree tell you something about the kittys' genetics, there is really no way know what type of cat you have.  If you obtained them from a breeder, the breeder should be able to provide you with a pedigree on them.  

Regardless of the type of breed, they are darling!  I wish I had a more positive answer for you that was a bit more helpful.
