Ms. Rattle is a regular visitor at the Duck Feeder. She had been seen multiple times before she was named on March 10th, 2024. She is named for her tail, because it looks like a rattlesnake.
Appearance
Ms. Rattle is a brown tabby with a white chin. She has short fur and cream colored markings near her face. Her coat looks slightly different at night compared to day, so she can sometimes be hard to identify. Look for the black hourglass shape in the middle of her lower back.

After eating, she seemed to have kibble stuck in her mouth/teeth, as she licked her lips constantly and tried to put her paws in her mouth. A piece of kibble dropped out of her mouth when she stopped, hopefully meaning she got it out. She left immediately after.
