 No, it's the kitteh paw prints tattooed around both wrists that give it away for me. When I designed them, I said that my cats always walked all over, now I have the physical proof. On top of the scratches and scars. 
Both Punky and Queenie aren't typical cats, both are abandoned stray cats that adopted us. Punky was abandoned outside by a previous tenant and outside for a minimum of 6 months before we brought him inside with us. By that time, he'd CLEARLY adopted us, sitting at our windows, talking with me through the screen, watching me cook dinner through the window, snuggling with me when I took food out to him, that sort of thing. He has abandonment issues and based on his behaviour at times, I think he was abused as well. He's not big on men though he will tolerate Lumus petting him briefly. He's not a big lap snuggler but loves to lay next to me. He is a massive lovebug and loves attention, as anyone who has met him can tell you. According to the vet, since he was abandoned, we're thinking he's betweeb 3-5 years old and weighs in at 15 pounds or so, all cat, no fat, though because he's such a big guy we call him Lardo de Retardo.
Queenie is..... well, Queenie. I call her psycho-bitch-kitteh from Hell. Stunningly beautiful bi-coloured black and white long haired, purrsonality straight from Beezlebub himself. Don't even THINK about petting her, even when she helps herself to your lap. If you have the stupidity to touch her and she didn't give you permission (or even if she did give permission but has changed her mind) you will be sprouting some new holes in your skin. She showed up here one night when Lumus came back from a late dentist's appointment, just waltzed in the front door ahead of Him and made herself at home. Now, for those who don't know, we live in a locked, secured apartment building. I notified the super when she showed up and we went around to all the apartments on this floor but no one had lost her and no one ever notified the Humane Society that they'd lost her. There are heavy fire doors in several places between each floor so we knew she couldn't have come from upstairs. And how she got inside the building, through 3 locked doors and was sitting in front of our door is a mystery. Hence I say she's from the Twilight Zone. *POOF* Here's KITTEH!!!!! The additional irony of Queenie is that the very day before she showed up out of nowhere, is that I had asked Lumus if we could get Punky a kitteh-buddy as I thought he needed one. I was told no, we couldn't afford the expense of a new cat what with all the expenses so maybe we would talk about adding a new kitteh-buddy in the future. Next day, Queenie shows up literally on our doorstep! Oh ya, someOne someWhere wanted us to have another kitteh.
So my fur-babies have issues but I still love them. I joke that since everyone has issues of some sort, the cats might as well too! I've seen some great changes since they've been here, Punky has calmed down and come out of his shell, Queenie actually snuggles with me and lets me scritch her special spots. The saying that cats have staff is very true around here as is the fact that Punky is clearly confused about the strange Man who sleeps on HIS bed at night with me. He's not sure if I'm hoomin or cat, or if he's the kitteh-hoomin. I'm just HIS, ya'know? (Though I've had cats in the past that loved TP, these two are bathroom angels!)
So keep us informed how it goes and which one you get. Plus, a picture or two or ten wouldn't hurt!
