Mr. Fresh (also known as 新鲜哥, Brother Fresh or "Side Eye Cat") is a famous internet cat. He has risen to fame thanks to a video of him looking at the camera in a peculiar way. He was named Mr. Fresh after his patient yet picky behavior regarding the food he will eat.

His feeder on the app: 快乐大食堂

Behavior

Mr. Fresh only eats freshly dispensed food. He will stare at the camera and, on rare occasions, even touch it with his paws until fresh food is dispensed. It is said that he refuses to eat already dispensed kibble after eating a bunch that had been contaminated by bird poop.

He has also been seen peeking his head near the sides of the feeders to check if other cats are currently present. He will not eat if there are other cats already at the feeder, and so he will retreat and return at another time or visit another available feeder. It is said that the reason he peeks his head out of the feeder is because he was attacked by another cat while eating.

He is scared of humans, being scared away when caretakers encounter him when they arrive to refill the feeders.

Appearance

Mr. Fresh appears to be a Domestic Shorthair cat. He has a Ginger Mackerel Tabby fur coat with low grade white spotting (white fur on the neck and paws, even extending to a small white spot to the left of his nose). His whiskers are white, he has Hazel eyes, and his paw beans are pink.

In his famous "side eye" video, he is fairly skinny. Nowadays Mr. Fresh looks to have gained considerable weight.

Sightings

Mr. Fresh is not seen very often, described to be a "Rare Encounter" by the community. Since he is such a celebrity, any stream in which he is sighted will increase in viewership considerably.

He is more often seen at the "Happy Canteen" (快乐大食堂), which is commonly known as Mr. Fresh's feeder.

Although his first sighting is unknown, his first known appearance to internet fame dates back to October 8th, 2023, when TikTok user @catzoo1 posted a clip of Mr. Fresh, which gained hundreds of thousands of views and likes in the span of a few months.

His most famous video, in which he gives the "side eye" to the camera, was posted to TikTok on January 6th, 2024 by the user @marceloeguino. This video received millions of views and likes on the platform, and it was shared to many other social media websites, thus solidifying his presence in meme culture as the "side eye cat".

On more recent sightings of him from the Hello, Street Cat stream and other sources, it has been noticed that he has visibly gained more weight, looking a bit chubbier than on his original famous video. This sometimes confuses new viewers who do not expect his chubbier appearance.

On 4 February 2024, at 4:18AM Mr Fresh was attacked by the snack machine and had a pile of dust from the almost empty machine piled on his head. This was a humiliating event for him but he continued to eat valiantly for a number of minutes afterward.

Later, at approximately 4:43PM, Mr Fresh was mercilessly assaulted by Ms. Kirby, causing him to flee Mount Kibble with great haste.

On the 7th of February 2024 at around 4:50AM, Mr Fresh seemed unwell after eating his meal. According to some experienced viewers he most likely went to puke off camera. We wish him a great recovery.
