This is the picture that shows Tabby's new design :) I hope it shows their (anatomical) characteristics a bit, and they are drawn in the pose they're most likely to take.

Mayra, the dark cat on the left, is the most elegant and reserved of the three. Her face is very round, with big ears placed closely together. The nose and muzzle are small and the eyes big. They are almond shaped. Her body is slim and elegant with small paws and a long tail that ends slightly pointed. Her markings are only visible when there is plenty of light: during dusk, dawn and night she'll appear almost black. She is of Egyptian nationality (I often imagine her in ancient Egypt) and is partly based off the Egyptian Mau cat breed, but with stripes instead of spots. She has a calm nature, patient and clever, which makes her a good hunter.

Tabitha is the middle tabby tomcat. He's bigger than both Mayra and Madeleine, and fluffier too. Tabby's muzzle is squarish, with a big chin and nose. His eyes are rounder than Mayra's and look smaller in comparison. His ears are also smaller and stand further apart. He has a tuft of hair on his head that grows in the wrong direction, giving him short 'fringe'. Tabitha's paws are bigger than the other girls', he's more muscular and stockier built, but he's very strong and a surprisingly fast runner. I changed his markings a bit, most notably the markings on his throat and hind legs, but they are not set in stone and may change over time. Tabby's of American nationality and is based off the American shorthair and longhair breeds (most likely a cross between the two). He's a positive character, energetic and easily excited. He loves playing and enjoys the company of others (unlike Mayra, who is a loner). Tabby loves eating and sleeping almost as much as fooling around, and would probably make a very nice pet. He's not a good hunter.

Madeleine is the tortoiseshell cat on the right. Her eyes are round and the nose small, with a shape that vaguely resembles a heart. Her ears are also set apart pretty far and look a bit crooked at times. Her cheekbones are clearly visible. Maddie is not as finely built as Mayra and has bigger paws. She's very thin, due to the fact that she lives alone on the streets and isn't the best hunter around. This makes her insecure about herself and her capacities, especially when other cats are near. She will always try to avoid conflict and will (try to) flee when a bigger cat or dog appears. She does have a very curious nature, which more often than not gets her into trouble. She's easily startled and can be considered a 'scaredy cat'. In spite of all this, she is a friendly creature who likes to hang around neighborhoods with children, often hoping to get some food or maybe even a place to sleep or live. Because Madeleine does not like to be a street cat at all, she envies cats who have a house and people who take care of them. This is why she keeps wearing the green cloth around her neck, as a reminder of the child who put it on her, and a hope to find said kid again. Maddie is French.

I hope you enjoyed reading a bit more about these three cats!
