Kelly's "Basic Concepts of Enriched Category Theory" http://www.tac.mta.ca/tac/reprints/articles/10/tr10.pdf Of course, the term "fuzzy categories" is never actually used there. (You can put the stockwhip down now, Max!) Moreover, it is not clear to me that "fuzzification" in its usual cottage-industry sense would be seen by many categorists as the right level of generality. But if you wanted to do it for some reason, that's probably where to start. -Robert Dawson
