I don't really remember Midnight, my parents had him when I was really young. He was all black.
Tiger was a tabby we had when I was a kid.
Felix, TT (short for Tiny Tiger) and Tut (short for Tutankhamun), were actually strays who came into our house - we never "owned" them, but they were friendly animals. Felix was orange and white, TT was a tabby with some orange, and a very small cat, Tut was all black and looked very much like the cats in Egyptian paintings, hence the name.
Smokey was the cat I got when I was 12 and had for 15 years. He looked like a blue-point Balinese. Beautiful cat, but he was probably ill-treated as a kitten and had serious behavioral issues. He was still a great pet.
Minerva (or Minnie, for short) is our current cat, a 7-pounder who looks like a Russian blue with yellow-green eyes. She's a very sweet, affectionate cat, and I'm absolutely her cat servant for life
