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. It was first thought that Mr. Quartz and Mr. Citrine were the same cat, as they are both mostly brown tabbies with a white triangle on their face, but they can be told apart by their different triangle shapes and front paw colors. 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. 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 and Mr. Citrine. Both Mr. Quartz and Mr. Citrine have triangle-shaped patches over their nose; however, Mr. Quartz's triangle is more of a half triangle that doesn't extend to the right side of his face, while Mr. Citrine's triangle is a full triangle that straddles both sides of his nose. Mr. Quartz and Mr. Citrine can also be told apart by their different front paw colors. Mr. Citrine's front paws are fully white, and the white extends a little above his paws; only Mr. Quartz's front toes are white, and the rest of his front paws are brown.
