Mr. Lead
Mr. Lead is a regular visitor at the Duck Feeder. He was first sighted on March 10th, 2024. He was named both for the metallic sheen of his brown-grey coat and his heavy, lead-like stare and demeanor.
Behavior
Mr. Lead is a very stoic cat. He does not seem to show any emotions. He also seems rather impatient, as he quickly leaves when the feeder is empty. Despite this, he stares intensely at the cameras as if he is aware that there are people watching him. He could either be a one-brain-cell organism or a feline mastermind. We may never know if his stoicism is due to his complete lack of thought or his calculating composure.
Mr. Lead does not like humans and takes precautions to avoid them.
Appearance
Mr. Lead is a brown tabby with a white chin. He may be easily confused with Ms. Rattle but his coat is much more grey-tinted. He also has a black tail tip while Ms. Rattle does not. Ms. Rattle has a dark stripe on her face that is absent on Mr. Lead. Mr. Lead has dark grey spots on his back in a similar pattern to Ms. Rattle.
