Behavior

The closest Mr. Bentley has been seen to another cat (GIF)

Mr. Bentley is very skittish. On his first recorded appearance, he was seen constantly looking around and was frightened by the feeder dispensing food. He has a strange way with other cats - when he is the one in the feeder, it is found he does nothing but sniff at them cautiously, but when other cats are eating he will growl, perhaps trying to scare them off so he can eat.

When eating, he will sometimes paw at his food to bring it closer to him. On one occasion, he removed a leaf from the feeder with his paw, only for it to end up back in the feeder where he nearly ate it.

Appearance

Mr. Bentley is fully black and could be mistaken for any other black cat. However, currently, no other fully black cats have been recorded at the Duck Feeder.
