We have three cats, and they DEFINATELY have their own personalities. My wife named them all, so don't rag me.
'Fuify' is a black male. He is TERRIFIED of ANYONE. He doesn't even like me much. He's a real mommas-boy (he hangs around the wife everywhere she does). Not much of a meow - more of a chirping cough, really. He also WON'T eat soft cat food. No matter how hungry he is. Our other two love it, but fuify, nope, won't even touch it.
'Hughes' is a solid grey female. She lost an eye shortly after birth and has a snaggle tooth on the same side, but she is just the cutest thing. She LOVES *EVERYONE*. She'll just walk right up to you and flop in your lap without so much as a by-your-leave. She also sleeps on your chest when you are napping and kneeds a LOT. If you let her keep kneeding whatever she's kneeding (your leg, your chin, your hair, etc) she starts purring LOUDLY and drooling. Kinda irritating, actually, cause she just won't stop. You push her away, she moves to another spot. She just never gets the hint. (They all have their front claws declawed, so this isn't as bad as it could be)
'Cocoa' is the last. He is, well, he looks like 'a little spot of cocoa' which is how he got his name. He's got medium-length hair - the other two are from a different father and have short hair. He's like a person. Really. He get moody sometimes. Arrogant others. Sometimes fussy, sometimes not. He's about 14, which is old for cat, but can act up with the best of em. 2 weird things.
1) He LOVES to try and get outside. EVERY TIME the door is cracked, he bolts for it. *BUT*, he HATES it outside. As soon as he gets out, he'll just sit on the stoop and start meowling. Of course, if you go out to pick him up, he runs around the house and start meowling in front of the OTHER door.
2) He LOVES vegetables. Meat, too - like any cat. But, olives are like crack to him or something - he just goes NUTS whenever you have them around. He's almost as bad for corn on the cob, too. You should see him tearing into the husks. Lettuce, tomatoes, whatever. Weird.
