Pinto is a small kitten in the No Hungry Cats feeder, who lives in the yellow basket specifically for him. He is named after pinto beans, due to his small size.

Pinto appears to have been abandoned by his mother. The Caretaker of the feeder keeps a close eye on him, and is waiting for Pinto to receive an adopter. This is also why Pinto is attached to a string - so he doesn't wander off or get taken.

Behavior

Despite his young age, Pinto is very active and brave. He will climb out of his basket to eat or explore, showing his athleticism. He gets easily distracted by things such as flies due to his short attention span. From July 5, 2024 onwards, he appears to have developed an obsession with sleeping on the scratcher by the side of the feeder.

Appearance

Pinto has a black and white coat and is pretty small. He had a string attached to stop him from causing havoc that could be used to easily identify him which was removed in the 14th of July alongside the feeder’s renovation

July 2, 2024: A cat plush was added to his basket. Later, at around 06:00 PM (LFT), the Caretaker came and cleaned the feeder, tidied up Pinto’s basket, and added some paper towels. Once the caretaker left, Pinto quickly got out of the basket, yelling for her to come back. When she did not, he began calmly munching at the food.
July 4, 2024: Pinto's cat plush was removed (only to be later re-added). Pinto was cleaned by the Caretaker as seen in the image, and his string was replaced. Later, at 06:30 PM (LFT), a neon blue fan was added to the feeder. At 07:40 PM (LFT), a black cat entered the feeder and quickly left. It also looked like Pinto had defecated in his basket.
July 5, 2024: At around 05:30 PM (LFT), Pinto decided to exit the feeder and sleep around the side. The Caretaker came shortly after and added some egg cardboard with food outside for Pinto. She then cleaned the feeder. Two white cats were seen in the background at the door of an open house, likely belonging to the Caretaker. Once the cleaning was finished Pinto returned to the feeder. He viciously devoured the food. He would attack the string and exit again for unknown reasons.
- At 7:00 PM (LFT), the black cat entered the feeder again and munched on the snacks. He left at 7:05 PM, ignoring Pinto, who was sleeping outside.
- At 9:18 PM (LFT), the black cat returned while Pinto was at the basket and ignored him again.
July 6, 2024: A blue & red scratching board was added outside as a way for Pinto to re-enter the feeder more easily, and the feeder’s curtains were changed. At 3:53 PM (LFT), he devoured some food.
July 11, 2024: Pinto was seen eating the tuna that was added to the feeder by the Caretaker. Later that day, the basket was for some reason moved to the center of the feeder, blocking the view of the back camera and making it harder to see Pinto.
July 14, 2024:At 16:30:00 (LFT) the feeder was cleaned and had a big change with the inside of the basket being removed and placed on the feeder, a yellow box, a fish toy being added, an empty crate added in one of the sides above the scratching board, another tuna can, the removal of the scratching toy, a toy string and the removal of Pinto’s string. He then entered the crate at around 17:00:00 (LFT) and stayed there for a long time
