Ophelia

Where Obtained: Shelter

Ophelia may be her "official" name, which does suit her well, but everyone calls this cat Pretty (or Miss Pretty). With luxuriously thick, if not overly long fur, and piercing gold eyes, she is one of the loveliest cats ever to call this farm home. And though she pretends to be too dignified, at first glance, to consort with humans, you soon realize that she does, in fact, love to curl up in your lap to be cooed over and petted for as long as you let her. Ocassionally she and Mog get into spats over who is resident queen, but Mog's children don't mind her prescence. Though Ophelia is much younger, she and Sabrina have struck up a great friendship as they visit the horses at the barn/pasture. She's a loving cat who will nuzzle your chin and purr loudly to show her appreciation of your existence, and sleeps curled up by my side at night. Perhaps because they arrived together from the shelter -- or perhaps because he's so much closer to her size than the others -- she gets along famously with Oliver. She always walks up to him to touch noses, to which he enthusiastically licks her back (thus inspiring a long grooming session -- apparently even from Oliver, dog tongues are too much for such a pristine cat).
