I got my kitten from my friend, who got it from a crazy lady who left them at a pet store. I have no clue what sort of breed he is, or parenting and such.

Starting with Tiger (such an original name)...

His coloring is a chestnut/red body with slightly darker streaks running down his spine and vertically down his body. His tail also has distinctive racoon rings. His underbelly is white, as is all of his paws and around his mouth. He looks, to be honest, like a house cat.

And to Toby...

He is a gray-tan color, with the same vertical stripes down his body, except for the raccon rings around his tail. His feet are all tan, like is body, and his underside is white with two sploches of tan on his belly. His body structure is very loose, and he has slightly longer then usual legs.

Anyone who is able to help, thank you much!

Hi Mariah...both your kittens are domestic short hair (DSH) tabbies.
Tiger would be considered a Orange DSH tabby and Toby a brown DSH tabby

Here are photos of each DSH tabbies:

Everybody wants their cat to be a "breed". The reality is, purebred cats are rare, expensive, and pretty much never show up in boxes as free kittens. Tabby is the most common pattern of cat in the world, and there are dozens of variations of the tabby pattern, which can include spots, stripes, swirls, rosettes, and a combination of all the above. And all cats have their own personality, I have one that plays fetch, I have one that thinks he's a baby. Oh, and cats can make something like 40,000 different sounds, cooing isn't really that uncommon. Sorry, but if a random woman's pet cat had a litter of kittens that she gave away for free, it's pretty much a certainty that they are just ordinary housecats. Enjoy the fact that she's pretty and sweet, and leave it at that.

They are more than likely orange and grey tabbys. It's hard to tell with out a picture. But that is what it sound like. Also the breed depending on how long the coat is, is probablly a domestic short haired cat. There aren't many specific breeds of cats, epescially tabbys. They are all usually just domestic short, medium, or long haired.

Bongo is the name of that cat the streaks on the back spine will become darker with age until if gets old the old ones are almost black the same distinctive body type, although there are different types of cats like that.Or maybe it is a tabby or maroon.

The first one sounds like maybe an orange/red tabby. The other is a gray and tan tabby. As far as breed goes, how long is their hair? They're either a Domestic Short Hair or a Domestic Long Hair.
