The Fellas
The Fellas are a group of Asian Badgers that seem to have taken a liking to cat food. They got their name from a comment upon the first sighting of one, "he looks like a mr fellow". They were first spotted in Royal Cat Love Meow House No.1 and appear to be nightly visitors there.
Thought to be male originally, a female was also observed regularly visiting the feeder. Further sightings confirmed multiple Fellas leading to them now being addressed as a group, due to difficulties telling individuals apart.
One of the Fellas, previously Ms. Fellow, is thought to be a mother to a young cub(s), due to having been spotted with a smaller badger.
Behavior
The Fellas are strange. Despite being badgers, they have no issues munching through large amounts of cat food. They have been observed eating in peace, though occasionally peeked their heads out to look outside the feeder.
Appearance
The badgers are all big, chunky fellas. They all have trademark patterns of an Asian Badger, a brown coat with vertical stripes over the eyes.
Sightings
- 31st March 2024: 01:08 AM (CST) One showed up and ate the food for a while, before leaving.
- 3rd April 2024: 12:30 AM (CST) A Fella showed up again, eating and grooming herself. Observations of this Fella led to her being re-identified as a female.
- 4th April 2024: 2:30 AM (CST) A Fella was spotted vacuuming up kibble from the feeder bowl, but left before they had the chance to eat some more freshly dispensed food.
- 5th April 2024: 5:30 AM (CST) A Fella was spotted munching on kibble before briefly leaving due to the arrival of an orange cat, but quickly returned after the cat left. In an interesting observation, The Fellas seem to strongly prefer kibble over the chicken snacks, contrary to most other cats.
- 6th April 2024: 12:38 AM (CST) A Fella was sighted eating some kibble before venturing off into the night.
- 9th April 2024: 1:30 AM (CST) A Fella was seen snacking on a large pile of kibble, leaving briefly before being lured back by more kibble being dispensed, and occasionally pausing their feast to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.
- 25th April 2024: 11:30 PM (CST) A Fella was seen walking up to the feeder and eating some kibble before striking a pose and scurrying away.
- 6th May 2024: 8:30 PM (CST) A Fella was spotted at the recently-relocated feeder, vacuuming up the last of the kibble and snacks in the bowl before toddling off into the night.
(Not every cat sighting is documented.)
