Amazing markings - what breed?


I've just seen some amazing looking kittens from the website icanhascheezburgers. I don't know if they're just moggies with amazing markings but they are stunning:



Any ideas anyone?

Also, the 'break news' caption has been photoshpped in. The website icanhascheezburger takes cute cat photos and adds captions. The cats are called lolcats. The caption, firefox dating lolcat, plays off the fact they have very foxlike markings!

I saw them too and I think they are probably photoshopped, most likely the orange bits. If anything ragdoll x?

Well they look ragdoll like to me, but I personally have never seen colours like that so i'd say it's a couple of ragdoll kittens with some photoshopping done, maybe not you being gullible but me being cynical?

I think that I agree with your theory Random on the photos.

Some of the black markings don't look quite right to me (especially around the face). I suspect lolcats are named such because it's a joke (LOL . . . ). I may be wrong though - it has been known

Yes the orange to black blend doesn't sit right on the face.

I don't think they're real at all.
The one at the back even looks like a fox, as well as being foxy coloured.

And lets face it, they are so stunningly foxlike and so strikingly different that if they were real they would be next 'fashion cat' as was the bengal, so how come no-one's heard of these wee fox-cats?
