\"\"Hey, that might be a good title for one of her books. You may have noticed that so far I\u2019m using Olivia\u2019s name in the titles for the Calico Cat Mysteries. I\u2019m not sure how long I\u2019ll be able to come up with title ideas, but it\u2019s fun while it lasts.<\/p>\n

I chose the title for this post because of Olivia\u2019s quirky \"\"purrsonality. As you know I had her tested to see what cat breeds are in her DNA. She is definitely an interesting blend of breeds, and sometimes an inkling of a particular breed \"\"seems to emerge.<\/p>\n

Now that I know Olivia\u2019s DNA make-up I often attribute some of her characteristics and traits to one or more of her possible ancestors. Sometimes she\u2019s super snuggly and clingy like her Persian, Ragdoll, or Maine coon ancestors. Other days she\u2019s aloof and \"\"standoffish\u2014she doesn\u2019t even want me to touch her, more like the Egyptian Mau. She can be as active as the Abyssinian and as quiet as the Ragdoll. She might carry something in her mouth and even go fetch it and bring it to me like the Abyssinian or the Ragdoll in her genetic pool might, and she can jump like a gazelle\u2014wait, that\u2019s not a cat. She is thought to come from the genetic pool of the Cheetah, so maybe that\u2019s where that skill comes from.<\/p>\n

I have to wonder though if the part of her that isn\u2019t a breed at all, but a color pattern\u2014the calico\u2014is trumping all of the breeds when it comes to her sometimes quirky\u2014sweet and sassy behavior.<\/p>\n
