What breed of cats are they?

They're Scottish Folds, and the same mutation that makes the cartilage in their ears folds affects all the cartilage in their body. So they have joint problems and arthritis and also tend to have some other problems. It's not even like getting a breed that "tends" to have certain health problems; the ears are literally evidence that they do. The Dutch government recently banned even owning one (exception for people who got one before ban) and big UK pedigree organizations won't register them.

Part Persian and part Maine Coon. They’re Scottish folds. They’re all half brothers.

Do they get along? How are they like with each other?

They get along great. They smother me with affection. They have a half sister, and my two old lady kitties, that they get along with. They all play together and eat together fine.

That’s amazing. I have cats and dogs most are rescue or found. We live in the country. Our cats cannot stand each other- never try to break up a cat fight in the middle of the night without a light on. Anyway all the dogs get along and they get along fine with the cats. I don’t understand.
