Mr. Mooncake
Mr. Mooncake is a cat who stays at Big Man's Cat Houses. He was named after the mooncakes that were given to the cats as a treat. It is suspected he is a Caretaker's pet and not up for adoption as he does not have a cat profile on Jiemao. However, he has been in the cat room for an extended period of time.
Behavior
Mr. Mooncake is a curious cat who likes to sniff anything and everything, especially food. Unlike the other cats, he is calm and does not play or run around. Instead, he will stay out of their way and watch them. When Ms. Companion hissed at him, he stayed still and sniffed until she left.
Appearance
Mr. Mooncake's coat is a dull red mixed with brown, which easily stands out from the other cats. He is the only Scottish Fold in the shelter, giving him folded ears. White covers his neck and a portion of his chin. He has a fluffy tail that is dark brown at the tip. Since August 31, 2024, Mr. Mooncake has had a red collar with a yellow bell.
