Mr. Gingko is an orange and white cat that appears at Huanzi Animal Rescue Base. He is named Mr. Gingko because the patch of orange on his face resembles the leaves of the Gingko tree[2]. This orange patch on his face, as well as his lighter orange color, keeps him from getting confused with the other orange and white cats at the feeder. He was first sighted by the global community on July 16, 2024.
Behavior
Mr. Gingko is a pleasant fellow. He doesn't always jump right into eating when he enters the feeder; he will often stare at the bowl for a minute before starting. Occasionally, he will lounge in the feeder; more often, he will hang out right outside the feeder. He is one of the cats known to jump on top of this feeder.
Appearance
Mr. Gingko is a light orange and white cat. His most distinctive feature is the Gingko leaf-shaped patch over his nose and mouth. He also has orange on top of his head, leaving patches of white that surround his eyes. His neck, chest, and paws are fully white; each of his legs are mostly white but have patches of orange. His back is mostly orange and fluffy looking. He has faint tabby stripes that can only be seen in certain lighting.
