Here's our cats.

FUZZY: He's a huge orange tabby, weighing in at around 17 lbs. We got him for free from a pet store that was near our home at the time.  He's a great cat.  He knows his name and is one of the smartest cats I've ever known.  He also taught himself how to talk to the birds outside our window.  And, he's been designated to bug the living crap out of us whenever the cats need (want) to be fed.  He also loves people.  Whenever people come over he's constantly sneaking up behind them to smell them and stick his nose in their ear or something.  He's very friendly and loves attention.  The name "Fuzzy" was given to him because he was so puffy and fuzzy as a kitten.  It is a good fit for him.

CARRIE: Carrie's black with white feet, and some white on her tummy.  She is one interesting cat. I think sometimes she thinks she's a dog. We got her from the S.P.C.A along with her "sister" Suzy.  Unfortunately, we had to take Suzy back to the S.P.C.A. after she lived with us for over 5 years.  Back to Carrie.  She's definitely a "daddy's girl".  My wife is scared to even pick her up, most of the time.  Carrie was just born with razor-like sharp claws.  She's not very big, but she's getting a little chubby, even though I've put them all on a low-calorie cat food.  Carrie is not a people-lover.  She loves attention when it's given, but she usually is too intimidating for people to approach her.  If she hears a noise outside that she doesn't particularly like, she growls, just like a watch dog.  I have nicknamed her "Mama Bear" because she has poofy cheeks and short ears, sorta like a bear, and she's also much like a protective Mama, especially with me.  Carrie was named after the movie "Carrie" because she can be pretty mean when she wants to. 

IZZIE: Izzie is gray with the same markings as a Tabby.  She's the youngest (and smallest - she's actually average height and weight for a house cat) of the bunch.  We found her abandoned on our porch after our neighbors moved and left her.  Fuzzy took an immediate liking to her.  They're sort of a combination of neutered boyfriend/girlfriend and brother/sister.  Izzie is very very jittery.  She'll jump and run at the slightest hint of anything.  I think it has to do with her being abandoned and the fact that I don't think her eyesight is the best there is.  In fact, she has the blue Siamese-like eyes, and I know they have problems.  She's very cute and has (somehow) managed to stay relatively thin.  Every single night, without fail, when I get in the bed she drapes herself accross my back and kneads for a few minutes.  I have no idea why, but she seems to enjoy it, so what am I supposed to do?  Izzie was named after Brad Pitt's character's Indian love interest in "Legend's of the Fall", Isabel 2.  It's an appropriate name for Fuzzy's "girlfriend".
