Sightings
April 2024
- April 13, 2024: Dame Knight's first known sighting. She appeared right after Bob left. She was very hungry and kept staring at the food dispenser, waiting for food to come out. She even hit the dispenser once in an attempt to make food come out. Once food was dispensed for her, she ate it all quickly, then went back to staring into the food dispenser and waiting for more food to come out. After a minute or so of waiting, she gave up and left the feeder.
- April 16, 2024: Dame Knight appeared in the feeder and ate some snacks. Lots of food was dispensed for her, which she enjoyed greatly.
- April 23, 2024: At 02:38 PM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen laying partially outside of the feeder, relaxing in the sun. She left at 02:41 PM (LFT).
- April 29, 2024: At around 07:33 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen lounging by the feeder. Some food was dispensed for her, and around the same time, another cat showed up to the feeder. The other cat pushed its way into the feeder with Dame Knight. She pushed the other cat out of her way, but when the other cat continued to eat, Dame Knight gave up and left.
May 2024
- May 11, 2024: At around 06:30 PM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen sitting by the feeder and eating food that was dispensed for her.
June 2024
- June 8, 2024: At 08:46 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen eating from the feeder. After about a minute, she looked up at the food dispenser for a second before quickly leaving.
- June 18, 2024: At 09:10 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen enjoying some kibble. There was a significant amount of kibble on top of her head, which didn't fall off until she left a couple of minutes later.
- June 19, 2024:
- At 10:41 AM (LFT), Dame Knight ate from the feeder, then looked outside and quickly left. Soon after, an unnamed cat who regularly visits the feeder entered and started eating. It is unknown whether the presence of the unnamed cat was the reason that Dame Knight left the feeder.
- At 01:29 PM (LFT), Dame Knight returned to the feeder, this time wet from the rain. She ate some food, then tried to rest; however, she had a hard time keeping her eyes closed. She rested her head on the side of the feeder for a few seconds, then lots of food was dispensed for her, which she quickly got to inhaling. After several minutes of eating, she heard something outside and left.
- June 23, 2024:
- At 05:30 AM (LFT), Dame Knight visited the feeder, this time with 3 kittens indicating that she is a mother. Sir Knight is officially renamed Dame Knight from this moment on.
July 2024
- July 10, 2024: At 11:34 AM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen eating at the feeder. Her fur looked a little disheveled, but she didn't look under the weather in any way. Hopefully she's just too busy being a loving mama to her babies to keep herself looking perfectly neat.
- July 11, 2024: At 6:47 PM (LFT), Dame Knight was seen sitting by the empty feeder. Three minutes later, at 6:50, a tabby kitten entered the feeder with Dame Knight. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that this kitten was Dame Knight's, and not Bob's similar-looking tabby. The kitten was very energetic and showed a lot of behaviors that Dame Knight has shown, such as constantly smacking the dispenser to try and make food come out. The kitten also squeezed itself in and out of a crack outside the back corner of the feeder, and meowed almost constantly until food was dispensed for it. Dame Knight sat in the feeder, watching her baby as it ran around. When food was dispensed, they both immediately started eating. At around 7:15 PM, Dame Knight left the feeder, and the kitten was able to have the food all to itself. Two minutes later, when the kitten was done eating, it left the feeder as well.
