April 27, 2024: At around 05:00 AM (LFT) was seen in the feeder eating, getting snacks and kibble stuck on his mouth twice. He was subsequently pushed out of the way by Mr. Puke, staying with him for around 15 minutes. The encounter was peaceful. Later, Mr. Egg hesitantly entered the feeder to eat. Dr. Smudge did not interfere. Shortly after Mr. Egg's entrance, Mr. Chicken sniffed his butt repeatedly. At the same time, Ms. Warn snuck up from the top right. Dr. Smudge refused to leave, remaining the left (top view) corner of the feeder. Ms. Warn left at 05:27 PM (LFT). The trio of white-orange cats remained in a tense situation for another several minutes, Mr. Chicken eventually losing interest at 05:29 PM (LFT), but returning after half a minute and sniffing Dr. Smudge again. Kibble and snacks were then dispensed and Dr. Smudge returning to eating. Soon after, Mr. Chicken entered the feeder. What ensued was a very intense stand-off, Dr. Smudge growling and hissing at the other cat for several minutes. The reason for this is unknown. He was eventually scared off, sitting outside the feeder as the other cat began to eat. Eventually, at 05:36 PM (LFT), Dr. Smudge crawled back inside, stalking Mr. Chicken from behind as he ate. The rest of the encounter was tense but peaceful. Mr. Chicken stopped eating at 05:41 PM (LFT) and left the feeder, leaving Dr. Smudge alone. He proceeded to lay down, exhausted by this event.
