Shy Citrine

Breed	Domestic Shorthair
Coat	Red (orange) Mackerel Tabby
Sex	Male
Rarity	Common
Appearance	Small orange tabby kitten
First known sighting	July 22, 2024

Shy Citrine is one of the kittens that had been abandoned near Woohoo Big Face Baga Meow. He's been adopted into a small cat family that is yet to be documented. Starting as a singular stray kitten, he is now the big brother to a tiny tortoiseshell and a white kitten.

Behavior

As the name suggests, Shy Citrine is a timid cat. He was quite afraid of the feeder at first but hunger won out. He will try his best to clear out the bowl whenever he finds food. When he first visited, he would bolt away from donations. However, nowadays he will scoot backward and wait with wide eyes.

He is playful with other kittens and will try and goad them into chasing him.

Appearance

In moments of calm, Shy Citrine looks as though he is constantly on the verge of existential crisis. Regarding his coat, he is an orange mackerel tabby with light paws. He was rather thin upon his first visits but has since gained a healthier weight. He has a little bit left to go though if he wishes to match the likes of Big Boss.
