Mr. Drumstick is a tortoiseshell cat first spotted March 13, 2024, 08:29 AM (LFT). Although Mr. Drumstick may be more accurately described as "Common", as seen by his many appearances on April 01, his times of stay are short enough to rarely catch him being at the feeder, hence the current "Rare" classification. He was mistakenly thought to be two different cats for a time, Mr. Drumstick and Ms. Meteor, but was found to be just Mr. Drumstick.
Behavior
Mr. Drumstick appears to be rather cautious — which could be judged from him not staying at the feeder for more than a few minutes on average — and he can rather quickly turn to skittish behavior. Going from sitting down and enjoying his food, to immediately turning his attention to the outside, before usually quickly bolting out after spending some time standing towards the entrance.
Appearance
Mr. Drumstick is a tortoiseshell cat and can be most easily distinguished by the marking on their face that looks similar to a drumstick, hence the name Mr. Drumstick. He can also be identified by the TNR notch on his right ear.
Relation to Ms. Note
It's hypothesized that Ms. Note and Mr. Drumstick are siblings, or are related in some fashion.
For example, Mr. Drumstick can easily be confused with Ms. Note due to them both having a right-ear notch, and the tan marking that goes down both their faces; but Mr. Drumstick's marking is notably thicker, and also shaped like a drumstick rather than a musical note. Mr. Drumstick also has significantly more brown in his coat than Ms. Note.
They're both skittish and don't remain on camera long, but they both often are seen arriving at the feeder in very close time spans, though never together, at least not from observed sightings.
