Sorry, the reply CAPTCHA isn't working with me for some reason LOL so I had to separate it into its own section - Kayoko

no worries! thought you might've had one since Newcomer's usually only mentioned in that specific thread, but basically:

The Newcomer is a cat that first arrived in the TTKH around the 18th of April, she was first seen by the Chinese chat during the afternoon as she was eating from the bowls outside, but then she came back during the night (7:50PM) for some dinner. She didn't come inside of the feeder the first couple of days she was here, so there wasn't any clear pictures of her then.

She officially came inside of the feeder on the 27th of April at 7:11PM, confirming that she is a new cat! The Chinese chat called her 新新子 (New-New-Child, pronounced "Xin-Xin-Zi"), referencing the caretaker's account name 欣欣子 (also pronounced "Xin-Xin-Zi"). Technically, we named her The Newcomer first so it was more so a coincidence that both communities named her something similar (unlike for Brother Styles or Mama Tortoiseshell whose names are based off of their Chinese ones). Around this time, we (Chi+Eng Chat) believed Newcomer was a male because Dress and Tux both threatened her from the feeder (they're usually very male-aggressive) and we didn't exactly see a clear view of her backside. She also looks really similar to Mr. Heartbreak (Dress' ex-husband), which prompted people to believe she's his brother of sorts.

Newcomer then went MIA for about two months, coming back at the 16th of June. I believed her to be a clone of Newcomer and not Newcomer herself because when she came back, she was fatter than before and also seemingly has some sort of eye condition to her left eye (it's really obvious in the recording). ChiChat recognized her as Newcomer though but they also sometimes get cats wrong (Slam to Heartthrob and vice versa), so I wasn't super inclined to believing them at the time since Newcomer didn't seem to have anything going on with her left eye back in April. It was around this time that she's confirmed female too, and since it was assumed that Newcomer was a male, I temporarily called her "The Clone (of Newcomer)" to differentiate them. (I was debating on whether to call her "New" and "Comer" to stick to the split names trend thing going on in TTKH, Tux-Edo, Capy-Bara, but then decided it just didn't hit as hard LOL)

Newcomer then came back a couple of days later at the 20th of June, this time without anything going on with her left eye, which was confusing so I double checked her coat markings and confirmed that Clone and Newcomer were in fact the same cat. Thus, it is believed that Newcomer is actually just someone's pet cat that they let roam free occasionally (since there has to be someone taking care of her eye, and there's also the fact that she's quite fat too). This isn't confirmed by the caretaker however and is just a theory shared by both fandoms, but I find it quite promising since Caretaker doesn't seem to recognize Newcomer as a local stray cat (they were the one who named Newcomer in Chinese in the first place) and Caretaker practically takes care of all the cats in their area. Plus, the nearby feeder's caretaker (the feeder where Dress was found all those months ago) didn't seem to recognize her either.

Afterwards, Newcomer came occasionally until the 5th of July, when she was last seen for a long time. I assumed she either was stuck at home (because of the pet cat theory) or that she went to another feeder to snack (since Heartbreak and Capy were both last seen around this time as well).

She only just came back yesterday at night (where she got into that bout with Edo and Styles), but she acted a bit weirder than before. In the past (April-July), she was a lot more skittish and frankly, kinda shy. Dress and Tux literally stood outside and threatened her while she was eating but she didn't seem to mind all that much. Yesterday she kept screaming at Edo and Styles even though they technically weren't doing anything initially (not accounting for what happened after), so I assume she either was always like this and I simply just never knew because the other cats didn't get super close to her, or that something happened to her (maybe Edo fought her? Edo's been having a bald patch on the back of his coat for the past week and I don't think he got into a fight with Slam so) in the past two months she was MIA.

Either way, that's about all I can recall about Newcomer throughout the time she's been visiting TTKH! a lotta these are a bit easier to explain with the pictures (since I've got a lot of them) but this should explain enough, i think

Same thing for me uhh it aint working :3

That sounds awsome!!! I'm currently making a page for his majesty so some pictures would be awesome! I dont expect them like- now but after i finish the page anybody can insert their pictures of him. Also, yesterday the Newcomer got in a bit of a fight with another cat, so im tweaking his behavior to be a bit wary of cats and humans.

Tangent: Do you know anything about Asparagus? Has he grown up? :3 Cat Enthusiast (talk) 11:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

i'll add the pictures in once you're done with the page! since i can see if the wiki's been updated or not, but you'll have to add some pictures of your own as substitutes for a bit since my time schedule's a bit wonky (btw Newcomer is confirmed female cause she showed us her bum before and there weren't any testicles, it's not confirmed if she's neutered or not tho since there's the pet cat thing and also the fact that she doesn't have an ear tick)
not too sure about Asparagus tho, since i don't particularly catch up with the 711 cats but i saw in the discord server that they went missing? i can't confirm that myself since i lost my HSC app account LOL, no one's been documenting much about the 711 feeders other than Zeus these days
your sandbox is here btw: User:Cat Enthusiast/Sandbox (added this in since idt Melody mentioned where it was and MediaWiki is honestly a bit confusing to navigate😭) KayokoSudou (talk) 13:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry bout the late response :3. OH NO :<. I hope asparagus pops back up. Also, when was the first time The Newcomer arrived? If theres any more like, sightings could you let me know so I can add them to my sandbox? Thanks :3 Cat Enthusiast (talk) 12:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
