Your "Marbles" (assuming that's the handsome feline on the left) looks a *lot* like my European Burmese. Very Burmese-y face and head. Does he have any Burmese ancestry?

Actually, I don't think so. Dad is Maine Coon, Mom is a mutt.

Dogs are mutts, cats are American Shorthairs.
What's an American Shorthair?
A feline mutt.
What's a mutt?
A canine American Shorthair.

Actually no, "American Shorthair" is now a defined and disctinctive breed. See http://www.cfa.org/breeds/profiles/american-sh.html .
The term I've seen used on cat rescue boards for feline mutts is "moggie".

Oh, how beautiful. I love it when cats snuggle up with each other!
