This is Opal, our male cat. Opal was part of a stray litter at my parent’s house, and he was the only one hungry enough to get stuck in the trap. He was just a little kitten then, but has become an excellent mouser, and is probably the most affectionate of all our cats and dogs. He loves to jump up into your lap for a good scratching and caressing. And despite being deadly to rodents with his claws, he never uses them on his humans.
