Okay, here's my rundown (take a deep breath):

Indoor

Ginger-aka Mr Big and Fluffy.  Velcro hair (sticks to *everything*!). 
Showed up at our house a number of years ago, played hard to get.  One 
day I mentioned to my wife that I hadn't seen him in a couple of days. 
Her reply: "He's under the bed."  His favorite time of day is just when 
I get into bed and he can get up on my chest for a few minutes of 
undivided attetion.

Molly-long hair black (well, very dark brown) female.  Got her when 
Judy's best friend took in her daughter's cat and discovered she was 
allergic.  Favorite pose?  "Look at my butt!"

Pumpkin-orange and white male.  From the feral group outside.  When we 
caught him, we thought he was too old to be domestic.  The vet disabused 
  us of that very quickly--he spent most of his time at the vet's in 
somebody's pocket.  He is the alarm cat for all feedings.

Natasha and Nell-the inseparable sisters.  From the final litter of the 
feral cats; we found homes for their brothers (Rocky and Mr Peabody), 
but couldn't bear to separate them or give them up.  They're fine with 
Judy, but I am the devil incarnate (maybe it's because I was operating 
the traps).

Outdoor

Duchess-the eldest.  Did guard duty for all the outdoor kittens.

Isabella-named after the "she-wolf of France".  The hardest one of all 
to catch (and the one responsible for three full litters of kittens). 
We did trap/neuter/release on our little colonies, but never managed to 
catch her.  We spiked the food with herring; she stepped over the trip 
plate.  We got drugs from the vet; she took it, and shrugged it off.  We 
doubled the dose; she took half!  Obviously, we did finally catch her.

Snoopy-white with black beagle spot (duh!).  The only male outdoors and 
the most likely suspect for Pumpkin, Natasha and Nell.  Still hangs out 
with the outdoor girls.  Also very tough--there have been at least two 
instances when we thought he was going to die out there, but could never 
get close enough to help.  He got through both just fine.

Bianca-mostly white.  From the same litter as Pumpkin, but we didn't 
catch her in time.
