    Can you tell your cats apart by just the feel of their fur?

    For all you multi-cat households, if you close your eyes and pet your cats, can you tell who is who??

    I can. Maya Linn's fur is a little coarser than the others. Mollie Rose is soft and Shortie's fur is the softest. MooShoo, well, no guess there!!

    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    I voted Yes because of when Speckles was with me. Her fur was kind of stiff while Max's fur is very soft. If I heard footsteps on the bed, one touch would tell me who it was.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I'm the only "no"
    What tells my gang apart is body type and tails.

    Daisy's fur is softer than Sam's, although I can tell who it is by the position they land on the bed. Also in the dark Daisy's purr is deafening!

    If Jessica was ever inclined to jump on the bed and I sleepily made the mistake of patting her, well she would be the one biting my fingers!

    I'm like Jen...not all but some, actually I can tell all of them except for Gracie and Gabriel....I have to feel length and belly size for those two. Gabriel is long and hardly any belly and Gracie is shorter and a little belly pouch hanging from her midsection.

    Smokey has very course fur.

    Tucker is a big puff ball and your fingers sink into her fur.

    Mystic is a silky course fur.

    Abner is the only one with long hair but he is the softest cat I have ever had....I could just run my fingers through his fur all day long.

    Gracie is just a little bit softer than Gabriel but I still need to feel the tummies.

    Vegas well I have to admit that his broken, stub of a tail is how I can tell him apart, it's not his fur.

    Smokey, Mystic, Abner



    Gabriel (Dude), Gracie, Vegas, and Scarlet

    Consider adopting a special needs pet, they deserve a chance too!

    Some. Even though short haired, Chestnut's is coarser than the other short hairs in this house

    I can tell shape and tails, and the thud on the bed usually is Sparkle, mommie's girl.

    Samantha's fur is like velvet. Giz of coarse, has longer fur. Chester and Amy's fur is about the same but their body types are different so soon as you touch them, you can tell which one it is.
