Little Scraggly Guy is known for being a small stray cat that appears sick/injured. His appearance is one of the roughest seen of any cat on the streams, and as such earned a special name without a Mr/Ms.

Behavior

Little Scraggly Guy exhibits behaviors that are quite distinct among the other cats observed. Notably, he often adopts a relaxed, loaf-like posture and shows selective eating habits. Unlike other cats who may eat whatever is in the feeder, LSG has shown a marked preference for fresh chicken. This specific dietary choice echoes that of another cat known as Mr. Fresh. One potential explanation for this selective eating could be dental issues, as cats experiencing dental pain often avoid certain types of food, especially harder ones. This theory aligns with LSG's observed reluctance to consume typical cat foods from the feeder.

On his first sighting, LSG was observed spending an extended period, approximately ten minutes, sitting in the feeder without eating. This behavior, coupled with his overall appearance, has led to concerns about his health among the observing community, who express hopes for his recovery.

Another notable aspect of LSG's behavior is his audible breathing, which has been captured by camera microphones. This symptom might suggest a respiratory problem. Respiratory issues in cats can lead to a diminished sense of smell, often resulting in reduced appetite. Commonly accompanying symptoms include tiredness and sneezing.

Additionally, LSG has been observed growling at an unidentified orange cat who approached the feeder. This interaction could suggest a level of stress or discomfort, possibly exacerbated by his health condition.

Appearance

Normally has a dirty-like appearance, and when looking from above he has a cow-like appearance. He is notable for having a soggy tail, looking scraggly and a messy face. It's worth noting that unkempt fur and general poor condition often suggest fleas, ticks, worms, or other parasites. These can lead to other health problems.

Sightings

He has been sighted five times, first on the 12th February 2024 around 08:00 UTC, where he sat without eating for 10 minutes before leaving, a second time at 10:40 UTC, where he once more sat without eating anything, a third time at 14:25 UTC, about 7 hours after the first sighting, where he finally ate the kibble and snacks, a fourth time at 15:45 UTC, initially loafing without eating any snacks, however began eating after snacks were dispensed, afterward started sitting once more, and a fifth time at 00:11 UTC+08 just loafing for around an hour. A sixth time at 19:26 UTC, mostly loafing around for 7 minutes before eating for a while more.
