Mr. Bentley is a cat seen at at the Duck Feeder. He was named on June 16 after the car from the book Good Omens due to his sleek black fur and quick reaction time.
On August 1, 2024, Mr. Bentley went to the vet to be neutered. He was released around a day later, but has moved to a different area nearby to receive food from another source.
Behavior
Mr. Bentley can be skittish, but also curious. Often, he sniffs around the feeder, making for some silly images when he sniffs the camera. He is sometimes frightened by food dispensing. In the first few weeks after his first appearance, Mr. Bentley showed aggression towards other cats. Recently, he has started being more friendly and will approach others while they eat to sniff at them.
Mr. Bentley does not like humans and takes extra precautions to avoid them. While at the vet, he managed to escape his cage and someone spent 30 minutes trying to catch him. Unfortunately, he moved to a different area after he was released, meaning he must have been incredibly shaken by the encounter.

When eating, he will sometimes paw at his food to bring it closer to him. On one occasion, he removed a leaf from the feeder with his paw, only for it to end up back in the feeder where he nearly ate it.
Appearance
Mr. Bentley is fully black and could be mistaken for any other black cat. However, currently, no other fully black cats have been recorded at the Duck Feeder. He has sleek fur and fluffy cheeks.
