Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey are expanding their family again — with a cow!

The Big Bang Theory actress, 38, introduced her followers to her new pet in an Instagram story on Saturday.

"Our girl Connie Cowstein," she captioned a video featuring her petting the animal, set to Morgan Wallen's song "Cowgirls." In a subsequent story slide, Cuoco said that Connie is a rescue cow.

Connie joined a pretty big group of animals that included seven horses named Poker Face, Smooshy, Zaza, Thor, Santos, Zee-Yah and Bionetty as of 2023. Cuoco and Pelphrey also have four rescue dogs: Ruby, Opal, King and Blue.

In 2023, the couple, who began dating in 2022, welcomed their daughter Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey on March 30..

In an exclusive interview in October, Cuoco told PEOPLE how Matilda was getting along with the dogs.

"Oh my God, she got thrown to the wolves literally," she said of her daughter, laughing. "After she was born, I'm like, 'If this child doesn't like dogs, I might have to send her back. There's no choice. This is your life. This is it.' They have jumped on her. They have crawled across her. We have let them lick her, kiss her. Our pediatrician was like, 'It's okay.' So they love her so much."

Cuoco launched a pet care brand called Oh Norman! in 2023 named for her late dog. It features everything from dog bowls to matching pet and human sweatshirts.

"I was excited to come out with products that were obviously cute, that were affordable, but also eco-friendly, healthy, good for the dogs, good for the owner, easy to clean, easy, easy, easy," Cuoco said of her line in October.
