Big Grey, named for his size and colour, is a cat who can be seen at the Tanuki Squad feeder. He was one of the original visitors to be documented at the feeder. His group use to comprise of Ms. Bounce and Watcher, but as time has progressed he has opened up to more cats. However, his rivalry still stands with Mr. Slither.
Behavior
Big Grey was once a coward but now is a stoic pacifist. Instead of running away he will grumble and glare. He is often content sitting by the feeder and watching the world around him.
Big Grey has become something of a father figure at the feeder. He will often be seen teaching the kittens how to hunt flies or to wait their turn. Whenever a cat interrupts his eating, he will cuff them on the head and gnaw on their ear.
He has taken a shining to Mr. Helios, as he is the only kitten that he's willingly shared the cubby with.
Appearance
Big Grey is a grey tabby with stripes. He has no other colouration on his fur. He is a shorthaired cat. He is also very large in size.
