Children

Four biological children: Two male gingers, one named Kitty Leftover (Little Shen) and the other, DianDian (Little Dot). One male bicolored ginger, Class Representative (Big Tiger). One unnamed grey tabby, presumed to be Mr. Slam as this kitty is the only one who was left a stray.

One adoptive daughter: A mix of the Dragon-Li and Orange breed, Sister Chestnut, who was adopted by the feeder's caretaker.

One spiritual successor(?): An unnamed bicolored ginger who has a significantly lighter coloring compared to her own fur coat.
Other She is friends with Ms. Tux and Mr. Edo, who are her most frequent visitors.


Mrs. Dress, whose Chinese name is listed as "BaoBao" ("保保", lit. "Protect-Protect" or "Guardian-Guardian") on the Hello Street Cat app, is a cat that's almost always seen through the cameras of the Ten Thousand Kitties House (万猫屋) feeder.

She's listed as the "security guard" (保安) of her feeder, this is possibly why she is visible sleeping on the feeder all the time. Her nickname, Mrs. Dress, comes from the fact that she wears dresses due to scratching at her back too much after being sterilized.

Mrs. Dress is unique for being treated like absolute royalty compared to other cats, given things like dresses, treats, pampering and checkups by the caretaker. This is where her other nickname Mrs. Princess comes from. You may consider her as the queen of the feeder.

Though it may seem otherwise, Mrs. Dress is considered a stray as her caretaker has previously mentioned her inability to live alongside other cats, along with her preference for roaming around.

Behavior

The personality of Mrs. Dress is unlike most cats on the Hello Street Cat app's feeders as she is a rather friendly cat, being calm around humans and other cats. She seems to be very happy and pampered.

Mrs. Dress is confirmed to have had a litter before being spayed afterwards. Due to this, she would constantly itch at her back so the caretaker of the feeder started to put cat dresses on her. Her caretaker also would apply medication and give her a tag to keep track of where she is at.

She is not a house cat, however, as she likes her freedom. Mrs. Dress is just a very spoiled stray cat. She can be a bit territorial with other strays if she is having a bad day, but is overall nice to other cats.

Appearance

Mrs. Dress is a bicolored orange and white tabby cat with white spotting from her chin to her stomach. She has large green eyes with a pink nose and white whiskers. She is confirmed to be a female cat. Her caretaker puts a new outfit on her everyday, usually a dress, but a shirt or a sweater on rare occasions.

Notable Sightings

  • February 29th, 2024: She was seen making biscuits and shoving her blanket into the feeder at around 4:00 PM (CST), before taking a nap. It is unknown why she did this, but people have speculated that it was to cover up the food for later consumption, or simply to get comfortable and sleep.
  • March 2nd, 2024: During her daily clothing change, she was seen with a ball of her own fur placed on her head by the caretaker at 9:56 PM (CST). The caretaker also clipped two Chinese tassels by the side of her ears, though they were soon removed as Mrs. Dress seemed uncomfortable by their presence.
  • March 4th, 2024: Mrs. Dress was seen smacking Mr. Edo with her paw after witnessing him steal the wet food she'd been given by the caretaker at 9:51 PM (CST).
  • March 7th, 2024: While on the caretaker's lap, Mrs. Dress was made to dance by the caretaker at 9:52 PM (CST), she is mindless.
  • March 9th, 2024: Despite being given a new dress the day before, she was seen "naked" for most of the day.
  • March 10th, 2024: Even though Mr. Slam is presumed to be her fifth son, when he came inside to take a couple of bites of the kibble, Mrs. Dress body slammed him and successfully chased him away.
  • March 11th, 2024: Differing from her usual activities, she was outside all day long, sunbathing on the grass and having fun with the caretaker. After being changed into her next dress of the day at around 10:28 PM (CST), the caretaker gave her a couple of smooches on the cheek. She was seen smiling blissfully and toppling her head to the side afterwards.
  • March 12th, 2024: Mrs. Dress was also gone from her spot in the feeder for most of the day, and seen playing around on the grass through pictures her caretaker posted online. Because of her absence, Ms. Tux temporarily took over her spot for a couple of minutes at 8:50 PM (CST).
  • March 13th, 2024: Brother (Hair)Style, a cat who usually eats from the feeder's old location, was seen with the caretaker during her daily clothing change. Mrs. Dress seemed jealous from the affection Brother Style was receiving from the caretaker, and so decided to swat at him with her paw, pulling out strands of his fur. Even so, she decided to be nice afterwards and let Brother Style loaf with her on the caretaker's lap.
  • March 14th, 2024: Mrs. Dress was caught meowing in front of the camera, maybe it's towards another cat? Maybe it's from her longing for the caretaker? No one is sure!
  • March 16th, 2024: Mrs. Dress was feeling extraordinarily feisty that day and beat Mr. Edo out of the feeder twice. Not that he minded in the slightest, as he kept coming inside to eat anyways.
  • March 17th, 2024: After the caretaker left, Mrs. Dress was seen rearranging her furniture, shoving most of her blankets and even her pillow towards the feeder. Because of the mess, the caretaker came by to fix it soon after. It's speculated that Mrs. Dress does this in order to lure the caretaker back to her feeder.
