    I can, Sunny's fur is quite coarse, wheras Jack's is very soft, kind of like a rabbits!

    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.

    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.

    I voted "yes", although I only have one cat right now (we're working on Daddy about that ). But, when Mimi was still here, it was very obvious "who was who", as Mimi had really long hair and Butter's hair is quite short.

    Yup, all of them have vastly different fur, excpet my first two. Allen and Pouncer have what I call "typical cat fur" - about 80% of the cats in the rescue feel just like them. I can usually tell one from the other based on their body response to my touch though

    Harry has very bristly fur. Its rough and not the nicest fur to pet, which is llucky since he hates being petted.

    Abby has fur like satin. I could pet her all day, which is lucky because she'd love to be petted all day (well not right now since she's still running from me )

    Flutter feels like a bunny rabbit

    Yes I can with my five big cats but I have a feeling it may get harder once Moxie and Decker are grown. I think Moxie's fur will feel a lot like Jazz.

    Yes, because Tiger's tail was broken when he was dumped on the highway with another cat. it's healed now but with a kink on it.
