Mr. Sceptic is a cat who appears on 海峡爱心小屋 (House of Compassion by the Strait), also known as Mr. Shock's feeder. His name comes from his moderately suspicious looks at the food or at the feeder cameras on occasion.

Behavior

Mr. Sceptic appears to be somewhat untrusting of the feeder's interior, sometimes looking into the feeder with his two front paws inside but usually deciding to pass on it. While he does go inside of it at times, he can put on a look which shows he's still not fully sure. He also sits at the feeder and observes, watching through the fence next to the feeder. He doesn't eat much from the bowl, but whenever he does, he tends to make silly faces. He is seemingly friendly with the other cats that hang around the feeder.

Appearance

His coat is all orange and white, with white taking up most of his face and underside, orange dominating his back and the top of his head, while orange and white sharing the sides. On his right side towards his rear, he has a white patch with a thin line that continues down to his belly area. He has a fairly distinct face, having a white diagonal line across his right side and an almost white left side under his eyes with orange blobs surrounding his mouth and nose. He has a pink nose, a TNR mark on his right ear that he gained in June 2024 and partially red eyelids.
