Two great Olivias have finally had the chance to meet.

On Sunday morning, Mariska Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, met up with Taylor Swift and her adorable pet cat, named after Hargitay's character.

The 1-year-old feline Olivia Benson has been Swift's famous companion since she was a kitten. Hargitay loved Swift's homage so much that she wore a cat collar in her honor.
