Mr. Despair is a cat seen at QQ Hungry (QQ饿). Mr. Despair became viral online after a video surfaced of him eating very sadly. It turns out this is just what he looks like. His feeder was unknown for a long time until it was discovered on August 1, 2024, however, he wasn't seen at the feeder until October 8, 2024. He could originally be found at "QQ的猫猫之家", but this feeder has been brought offline, seemingly to replace it with his current feeder.

It is suspected that Mr. Despair is the father to the young orange cats who also visit his feeder.

Behavior

For a long time, Mr. Despair's personality was unknown, similar to his feeder. It turns out that he is a rather chill cat and will lie down/loaf at the feeder, possibly wallowing in his sadness. He is always seen visiting alone, although this may be because of the quiet nature of the cat house.

Appearance

Mr. Despair is easily identifiable by his crumpled-looking ears, wide cheeks, weepy eyes, and forlorn expression. The shape of his ears is similar to those of cats affected by frostbite or scarring. He has orange fur with light stripes across his body. His tail is white-tipped.
