Oh, this is a great idea for a thread. I love reading everyone's responses and seeing how many different cat personalities there are. So, on to my three:
Ziv
1. It seems silly, but he'll always hold a special place in my heart because he was the first. He was the one who made me realize how much I could love a cat (his sweet demeanor didn't hurt!).
2. His loud, broken-tractor purr that comes out so easily, especially when we first come home and he squirms on his back, begging for belly rubs.
3. How handsome he is. He's more of a medium-hair than a shorthair, and his fur is luxurious and soft and intensely colored--the snowiest white and the most brilliant reddish orange. His name actually means "bright" or "shine" in Hebrew.
Eva
1. She just loves to cuddle with me in bed, but even though she often lies on the bed when I'm not there, when I am in bed, she "asks permission" before jumping up. She'll sit at my bedside, eyes wide and ears pricked, wiggling her butt and waiting for me to pat the bed and say "c'mon!"
2. If I'm not quick enough with serving their food, she'll let out a couple of impatient, squeaky little meows--she sounds like she's still learning how to meow!
3. She's so petite and delicate, and thus it's a joy to watch her play. She's like a perpetual kitten.
Chesty
1. He loves to lie on top of me or the bf and knead while being petted. He gets so into it, but is never overstimulated. He even kneads in midair if he's lying on his back or side.
2. He's the most outgoing of the three, always ready and willing to play or be petted. He loves sitting on laps and even being carried around the house, slung over my shoulder.
3. His little trills as he walks around the house or jumps up to the bed or couch. Such a sweet sound!
