'''Dan''' is an Orange Tabby who appears at [[A Litter of Cats Who Love Each Other]]. He is one of [[Dame Knight|Dame Knight's]] two children (his sister is [[Lance]]). Because of his mother, Dame Knight's name, Dan and his sister were both named after people commonly stated to be Knights of the Round Table. Dan was named after Sir Daniel, a knight in Der Stricker's 1220 Arthurian romance ''Daniel von dem blühenden Tal'' (''Daniel of the Flowering Valley'')<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_von_dem_bl%C3%BChenden_Tal</ref>. As a kitten, he appeared at the feeder with his mother; as an older kitten and adult, he visits the feeder more often than his mother and sister. He was first sighted by the global community on June 23, 2024. | '''Dan''' is an Orange Tabby who appears at [[A Litter of Cats Who Love Each Other]].

Dan's most notable trait is his willingness to enter the feeder and eat, no matter what is going on or who is there. He has been seen hanging out with almost every cat that visits the feeder (he has never been seen with notoriously belligerent [[Rob]]). Other cats at the feeder who try to eat while another is eating are normally met with hostility; Dan, however, is so mindless that he is often met with some kind of tolerance by the other cats (he has been swatted and hissed at multiple times, though). Notably, Dan is never aggressive, even when other cats are aggressive towards him. | Dan's most notable trait is his willingness to enter the feeder and eat, no matter what is going on or who is there.

The only time he has ever shown aggression at the feeder was when Torbie Mother showed up and became aggressive toward him and his little brother, [[Gareth]]. | ||
At the feeder, Dan will sometimes eat kibble, but he shows a strong preference for snacks, often ignoring kibble inside the feeder in favor of waiting for snacks. Dan likes to sniff the dispenser and around the bowl for snacks. Like Rob, he enjoys staring into the camera with his gigantic eyes. Dan can often be seen making a variety of ridiculous faces. | At the feeder, Dan will sometimes eat kibble, but he shows a strong preference for snacks, often ignoring kibble inside the feeder in favor of waiting for snacks.
