Ms. Marble
Ms. Marble is a cat that appears at the YiShan Stray Cat Base 4. She is unique amongst the cats at this feeder for her gray classic tabby stripes, which appear on her one side to look like marble stone or marble bread, hence her name. She was first sighted by the global community on July 23, 2024.
Behavior
Ms. Marble loves sleeping inside the feeder, as she often sleeps inside the feeder for long periods of time in various silly positions. She especially loves snuggling other cats, and has been seen snuggling with numerous cats at the feeder, including Michael and Paul; none of the cats seem to mind when she tries to lay on them. Sometimes, when she's woken up, either by other cats or the feeder light turning on, she looks up with an annoyed face before laying back down. Otherwise, though, she is a very happy cat.
Once in a while, she can be seen eating from the feeder, although she seems to have some trouble eating chicken snacks.
Appearance
Ms. Marble is a Black Silver Classic Tabby. On one side, her stripes form a swirl, looking like a marble pattern. On her other side, her markings are more hazy and spotty in nature. Her tabby stripes go partway down her legs. There is little black or white on her; she is mostly light and dark gray.
