Mr. Dao is a cat that frequents the Duck Feeder, and his first appearance date is not exactly known. He was first documented on March 10th, but he was spotted many times before then. Mr. Dao received his name from the yin-yang symbol on his forehead as "Dao" means "the path" and is associated with balance and harmony.

Behavior

Mr. Dao is a very sneaky cat, and can be found stealthily sneaking up on the feeder and other cats. Despite his tendency to spook the other cats (namely Mr. Horseshoe) he seems to be very polite and peaceful- but will greedily push other cats out of the way for some fresh snacks. He often inspects the feeder with sniffs and gentle prodding, just to make sure everything is working properly. It also seems that napping and relaxing at the feeder is one of his many past times.

Appearance

Mr. Dao is mostly white, with some patches of black on his rear and his face. He also has a mustache similar to Mr. Squeeze, although Mr. Dao's frame is much smaller in addition to his grey and black striped tail that resembles a racoon.
