Ms. Beetle
Mr. Beetle is a cat that first appeared on February 16, 2024. He got his name after the sloppy beetle-like shape on the stripes of his back. It is likely that his mother painted it herself when he was fresh out of the womb.
On May 8, 2024, Mr. Beetle's feat of consuming kibble for a continuous 28 minutes surpassed the previous record held by TGB by a significant margin of 3 minutes. This remarkable accomplishment firmly establishes Mr. Beetle's dominance in the realm of kibble consumption, earning him recognition as the new champion. With TGB graciously acknowledging defeat, Mr. Beetle now holds the esteemed title of the undisputed Kibble Destroyer Champion.
Behavior
Mr. Beetle seems to be rather skittish but also alert, constantly scouting his surroundings, making sure the coast is clear. He's very well mannered, always letting his peers finish their meal before approaching the feeder himself.
Appearance
He is a brown tabby with black stripes all across his back and a large black stripe around the shoulder area and white coloration on the inner area around his eyes and under his snout.
It should be noted that Mr. Beetle looks very similar to Ms. Chunky. To tell the difference, note that the blob on Ms. Chunky's back is lower and there is less of a gap between it and the tail marking, while Mr. Beetle's is higher and has a larger gap. Additionally, the bottom of Mr. Beetle's "beetle" has a butt with legs coming out of the sides, while Ms. Chunky's is more cricket-like in shape, with legs sticking out the bottom. He is easy to confuse with Ms. Takeout from afar.
