Brenda Leigh Johnson - Personality and Idiosyncrasies

Personality and Idiosyncrasies

• Brenda's favorite drink is a "big glass of Merlot".(Episode 1:2: "About Face")
• Brenda got her house, and her cat, from a murder victim whose case she solved. The cat is female and named "Kitty", though, comically, she always refers to Kitty with male pronouns (he, him, etc.) because she initially thought that the cat was male until she gave birth to kittens. Kitty has to be put to sleep in the third episode of Season 5 because of old age and health problems, and Brenda is very upset over the loss of the cat. Fritz gets Brenda a kitten named "Joel" at the end of Season 5.
• Brenda speaks "German, Russian, and fully conversant in Czech"; however, she does not speak Spanish. Thus she feels somewhat at a disadvantage in Los Angeles.
• Brenda loves junk food and sweets and hides all types of junk food in drawers, purses, and other places. One of her favorite sweets are the old fashioned tin foil wrapped Ding Dongs by Hostess.
