YESTortitude is real. We have almost every color andhair length and the TOTIE'S are thier own breed. It seems that the darker the colors the more the attitude. Penny is the talk to the paw girl, Boots is "yo can pet when I want you too, Precious is I will sit on your shoulder when I want to and you WILL PET, Sweety "don't come near me", and Dobi " stop I'm here too be petted - now"
When ET was with us she was the pinical of Tortitude and she was big enough too enforce it.
If I sit to watch TV Demetri, MIts or Egypt will come up for some loving. But when Prcious comes evryone must go or get growled at and/or get wacked.
