    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.

    I can tell my Meezers from the Non Meezers as the Meezer Furs a lot softer.
    I was having trouble telling Michael and Miquelito apart, but now Miquelito is getting bigger, and Micheal is shrinking.
    Princess has a mmrreeeeooow when I pet her, and Precious has a motor boat rumble purr.
    The softest Cat is JJJ3 whos like silk.

    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 )

    By fur alone, I can tell Macduff's (medium long and rather course), B.L. (long and silky), Taranis (basic short hair but with mats that cause me to get bitten daily as I try to deal with them), Surya (short and a bit sparse and dry), Belle (medium long and silky but with a tendency to clump in places), Cattulus (incredibly soft and with very loose skin), Darcy (also incredibly soft but less loose skin), Nougat (Siamese, soft and very dense), Ginger (my very old lady whose fur feels like an old lady's), Dude (rather course and rough to go with his life). The rest are all short hair and I would probably get a few of them mixed up so it would be body size that would tell me if I was touching Luke or LOS, Dagda or Maeve, Tom or Pete, Thumper, Ashley or Raven.

    We should have another thread/poll to see who can tell which cat jumped on the bed in the dark.

    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.
