Mr. Quartz
Mr. Quartz is a brown tabby that appears at Huanzi Animal Rescue Base. His name comes from the fact that, at first glance, he looks similar to Mr. Diamond; however, Mr. Quartz is a more common sight at the feeder. Mr. Quartz was first seen by the global community on July 16, 2024.
Behavior
Mr. Quartz enjoys lounging for long periods of time in the feeder. He lays toward the back of the feeder and watches as many different cats come in and out of the feeder. In addition to laying in the feeder, he is known to hang out outside the feeder and watch cats as well. When he's up and moving, he tends to go in and out of the feeder several times during his visits. He doesn't seem to show any strong animosity towards any cats. When a cat almost sat on him, he didn't show any sign of being bothered.
Appearance
Unlike many of the tabbies at this feeder, Mr. Quartz does not have a lot of white fur. It is partly because of this that he looks so similar to Mr. Diamond. The biggest thing that makes Mr. Quartz look unique is the roughly triangle-shaped white patch over his nose; the triangle does not extend all the way down to the bottom of his face. His tabby stripes go most of the way down his legs; his paws are white.
