Likewise with ours.

Sammy has the finest, sleekest fur I've ever felt. Cleo's fur is soft
and fluffy, but not as sleek as Sammy's. Tabitha's is long and soft, but
tends to mat. Amelia and Harri have fur that is somewhat coarse and
Ranger's is smooth and soft.

It really is amazing the differences in fur textures.

For many years I had twin toy poodles.  So much so that I could barely tell
them apart across the room.  Touch was an entirely different matter.  They
didn't 'feel' a bit alike.

Jake's fur is changing as he gets older.  I can tell he isn't in great good
health.  His fur has gotten softer and a bit thinner.  Less guard hair as
well.

Molly has a firm fairly course coat.  Especially today as I got probably
the last of the winter undercoat out or her this morning.

Oh, yes. They're all so different. When a cat jumps on the bed at
night, I can immediately tell which one it is just by touching their
fur.

Frank has very soft smooth fur and he is a petite thing while the more
stout Lyle has course rough fur so it gives me a chuckle that Frank has the
raspy voice and Lyle's meow is sweet and clear like a little bell.  Also
Lyle sheds more than Frank.

You can even have different kinds of fur on the same cat.  I've had three
black-and-white cats, and for the most part, their black fur was sleek and
dense, and lay down flat-- like Pickle sounds.  It's shiny, like a black
mirror.  The white fur seems lighter and fluffier, and is more easily
ruffled.
Stinky's white fur has always been very bright white.  It's always been hard
to get a good pic of him, because his white fur would bounce the flash right
back, and he looks radioactive. ;)

I first noticed this with Mandy and Betsy (both RB) who were so similar
to each other in colouring that strangers confused them. And they were
both short-haired, too, your classic tabby-tortie DSH with their brown
black and grey tabby stripes and little patches of white under the chin
and some orange elsewhere.

Their fur texture was quite different. Mandy's was silky, Betsy's,
although smooth, was less silky. Sam, the current owner is a black DSH
with fur texture more like Betsy's. I saw Mandy's mother when I adopted
Mandy. She had sort of semi-long hair - not persian or anything, but
definitely longer than your typical DSH cat's fur. I used to wonder if
the unusual texture of Mandy's fur was due to her mother - although
Mandy's fur wasn't long at all.

Persia is soft like a rabbit :)  But of course her tummy is much softer and
fluffier.

You got that right.

Tanada:  very soft plushy fur.  It reminds me of rabbit fur.

QC: long fine textured fur, thick and with two or three lengths.  Her's is
the only "oily" textured fur of the lot.

Merlin:  short hard textured fur on the tabby part, soft plushy fur on the
white parts.  Sometimes he looks like he has a mullet.

Pine Cone:  The strangest colored tabby of the cats, with the tabby parts
being orange nearest the skin, brown half way up the hair shaft, and grey at
the tips.  He also has several layers of fur and his is the most lush
feeling of the owners.

Huey:  sleek and fluffy fur.  His feels like a younger Tanada's fur did.

Sonya:  oriental, siamese fur.  Thin textured, soft, and short furred.

Qui Gun Kit:  His fur is like a shell in a way.  slick and not as forgiving
as the other owners are.  It is the closest to Merlin's fur that any of the
cats have.

Miss Calico Girl:  MCG's fur is short and frilly feeling.  It is so thich
that it sticks out from the skin.

Wamsee:  Her fur is soft and reminds me of a striped teddy bear's.  The fur
on her ears has been repeatedly attacked by Tanada, so some of her skin is
showing, but she doesn't care so long as the other cats let her sleep in
peace.
