Little Scraggly Guy (LSG) is a small stray cat that looks sick or hurt. He looks rougher than most cats on the streams, which is why he got a special name without a Mr. or Ms. in front of it.

Behavior

Little Scraggly Guy exhibits behaviors that are quite distinct among the other cats observed. Notably, he often adopts a relaxed, loaf-like posture and shows selective eating habits. Unlike other cats who may eat whatever is in the feeder, LSG has shown a marked preference for fresh chicken. This specific dietary choice echoes that of Mr. Fresh. One potential explanation for this selective eating could be dental issues, as cats experiencing dental pain often avoid certain types of food, especially harder ones. This theory aligns with LSG's observed reluctance to consume typical cat foods from the feeder. He is also brave and doesn't show any concern or hostility to other cats.

On his first sighting, LSG was observed spending an extended period, approximately ten minutes, sitting in the feeder without eating. This behavior, coupled with his overall appearance, has led to concerns about his health among the observing community, who express hopes for his recovery.

Another observable aspect of LSG's behavior was the sound of his breathing on his first visit, picked up by the camera's microphones. This could be indicative of a respiratory issue. However, it appears that there has been an improvement in this condition.

Additionally, LSG has been observed growling at an unidentified orange cat who approached the feeder. This interaction could suggest a level of stress or discomfort, possibly exacerbated by his health condition.

Appearance

Normally has a dirty-like appearance, and when looking from above he has a cow-like appearance. He is notable for having a soggy tail, looking scraggly and a messy face. It's worth noting that unkempt fur and general poor condition often suggest fleas, ticks, worms, or other parasites. These can lead to other health problems.

Sightings

02/12/2024: His first sighting was on the 12th of February 2024 around 08:00 UTC, where he sat without eating for 10 minutes before leaving, a second time at 10:40 UTC, where he once more sat without eating anything, a third time at 14:25 UTC, about 7 hours after the first sighting, where he finally ate the kibble and snacks, a fourth time at 15:45 UTC, initially loafing without eating any snacks, however began eating after snacks were dispensed, afterward started sitting once more, and a fifth time at 00:11 UTC+08 just loafing for around an hour. A sixth time at 19:26 UTC, mostly loafing around for 7 minutes before eating for a while more.

02/13/2024: He was sighted at 17:15 UTC, taking shelter from the cold for 30 minutes. He left and then came back again to eat some fresh chicken treats. He was then sighted again on the 13th of February 2024 at around 19:10 CET, where he sat and stared at the food bowl. After a minute or two, a large orange cat - nicknamed Mr. Jerk for now (Now confirmed to be Mr. Brawl, who has also attacked TGB) - approaches that proceeded to growl at him while eating. Some time passes and the orange cat leaves. After 10 or so minutes of Little Scraggly Guy staring, Mr. Brawl comes back, hissing at LSG and putting his paw on the feeder. LSG seemed unfazed until after around 20 seconds, Mr. Brawl approaches and swings his paw. LSG is quick to recoil, it's unknown whether he was hit. After Mr. Brawl eats a piece of kibble, he swings again sending frightened little LSG to fall down, now laying and looking at Mr. Brawl. He laid in the same position for some time, even after Mr. Brawl left. After around 5 minutes, LSG departs too.

LSG runs away, horrified of the merciless donators flooding the bowl with snacks

02/14/2024: He was sighted at 17:33 UTC, seeming more energetic and eating more than he used to. Mount Snibble was cleared out by a human around 15 minutes before his appearance and he ate good and with appetite. This will come to be known as the LSGA (Little Scraggly Golden Age). In an unexpected turn of fate though, while he was still in the feeder, Mount Snibble returned to an incredible height due to a massive amount of donations; as Mount Snack steadily grew LSG could do nothing but watch in horror. Shortly after he was forced to run away, visibly spooked. This will come to be known as the great Snack avalanche of '14.

(Note: As of February 19th, it is reported by community members in contact with the Chinese community that LSG has been captured and taken to a vet for treatment and potential adoption).
