Hmmm. We have one of those long-haired calicos, currently sleeping on my lap as I type this. She seems more hard-wired than other cats we've had in the sense that if she sees something of interest she goes for it immediately. She was never thoroughly schooled by her mother so she does "catch and release" with birds and mice, which is always exciting when she brings her prizes inside the house. She is the only cat we've had who enjoys water. In fact she sits on the edge on the bathroom vanity and pleads to have her face washed with a warm washcloth. She is extremely ticklish on the belly and is quick to react with claws if someone dares to touch her there. She tends to be aggressive with the other two cats in the house, either one of which will eventually get fed up and put her in her place.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
