Mr. Slither
Mr. Slither is a cat found at the Tuxedo and Tabby Squad feeder. He was named after he tried squeezing underneath the plastic tarp that covers the feeder. Due to his sneakiness, Mr. Slither often scares the other cats.
He is also referred to as 黄公公, aka Eunuch Huang. This could be a reference to Huang Hao, a notable eunuch and politician. As Mr. Slither is known for being a bit of a bully and booting out other cats. However he is also not very bright, wandering into the TNR trap immediately after seeing another cat get caught.
Behavior
Mr. Slither will often try to sneak past the other cats to try and get some food. He will often fail at sneaking but succeed in scaring the others. In the past he was originally thought to be a misunderstood soul. However, it seems as though he had been scheming.
As of late, he has become more comfortable sitting at the feeder. He will attempt to swat at any cat that will try and eat.
Appearance
Mr. Slither is an orange and white cat. He has a dirty-looking face and coat. He is mainly orange on his back, with some lighter markings. His head and chest are white.
