- At 10:41 AM (LFT), Dame Knight ate from the feeder, then looked outside and quickly left. Soon after, an unnamed cat who regularly visits the feeder entered and started eating. It is unknown whether the presence of the unnamed cat was the reason that Dame Knight left the feeder.

After several minutes of eating, she heard something outside and left.

- At 05:30 AM (LFT), Dame Knight visited the feeder, this time with 3 kittens indicating that she is a mother. Sir Knight is officially renamed Dame Knight from this moment on.
July 2024
- July 10, 2024: At 11:34 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen eating at the feeder. Her fur looked a little disheveled, but she didn't look under the weather in any way. Hopefully she's just too busy being a loving mama to her babies to keep herself looking perfectly neat.
- July 11, 2024: At 6:47 PM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen sitting by the empty feeder. Three minutes later, at 6:50, a tabby kitten entered the feeder with Dame Knight. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that this kitten was Dame Knight's, and not Bob's similar-looking tabby. The kitten was very energetic and showed a lot of behaviors that Dame Knight has shown, such as constantly smacking the dispenser to try and make food come out. The kitten also squeezed itself in and out of a crack outside the back corner of the feeder, and meowed almost constantly until food was dispensed for it. Dame Knight sat in the feeder, watching her baby as it ran around. When food was dispensed, they both immediately started eating. At around 7:15 PM, Dame Knight left the feeder, and the kitten was able to have the food all to itself. Two minutes later, when the kitten was done eating, it left the feeder as well.
- July 12, 2024: At 6:19 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen sitting at the feeder, this time by herself. Lots of kibble and chicken snacks were soon dispensed for her, and she ate some, but then quickly left for an unknown reason.

The orange and white kitten ate from the feeder, but as soon as it got out of the bowl, kibble came out of the dispenser, which scared it away for a little while. Dame Knight and her other kitten hung out, occasionally snacking, until her other kitten returned. More food was dispensed, but as both kittens were sitting along the back of the feeder, behind their mother, they were not scared away. After their mother ate for a minute, the orange and white kitten headed up to eat some more. The family then left, one by one; the tabby kitten was the last to leave at 2:29.
