Mr. Timbit
Mr. Timbit is a black and white cat that appears at Huanzi Animal Rescue Base. His name comes from Timbits, bite-sized fried dough pieces (donut holes) sold at iconic Canadian coffeehouse chain Tim Hortons; he's named this because the black patch over his mouth looks like a maple leaf, which is on the flag of Canada.
Behavior
Mr. Timbit is one of the more common cats seen at the feeder. He is very chill with other cats; he doesn't mind them hanging out in the feeder with him or eating out of the bowl at the same time as him. The reverse is also true: he is willing to enter the feeder and eat out of the bowl while other cats are already eating. The other cats don't seem to be bothered by this, indicating that he is on friendly terms with the other cats at the feeder.
In addition, when other cats enter the feeder while he's relaxing, he enjoys watching them eat.
Appearance
Mr. Timbit is a black and white cat. His most unique feature is the maple leaf-shaped patch that appears over his mouth and nose. The white on his face extends up his nose in a sharp, upside-down V shape, as if it was a very thick outline of the maple leaf patch. His back is solid black, with one small, line-shaped patch of white on his upper back. His black coloring extends in a jagged formation down his sides; it also covers part of his back legs and his front left leg. His tail is black.
