Ophelia is a cat

Cats need to be fed good food and they need to be physically and intellectually stimulated. Some of that stimulation must be autonomous, self-initiated, self-directed activity or they get depressed. This is why so many cat toys are human-hands-off. He needs to feel as if he captured that little fabric catnip mouse all by himself. It gives him a sense of accomplishment. When he's happy his coat is softer and smoother, and he yowls less. Which we all appreciate.

Ophelia needs to be fed good food, and she needs to be physically and intellectually stimulated. Some of that stimulation must be autonomous, self-initiated, self directed activity or she gets depressed. This is why so many Ophelia toys are media/culture/church/everyone-hands-off. She needs to feel as if she's captured that little photographic image all by herself. It gives her a sense of accomplishment. When she's happy her movements are softer and smoother, and she yowls less. Which we all appreciate.
