Mr. Paw is an orange tabby that appears at Huanzi Animal Rescue Base. He is named Mr. Paw because he only eats kibble he pushed out of the feeder with his paw, and because he is sometimes seen eating kibble from his paw. Appearance-wise, he is almost identical to The Guardian, and as such were previously considered the same cat. They are so similar looking that it was only suspected they were two different cats after noticing their wildly different eating behaviors at the feeder.
Behavior
Mr. Paw acts vastly different from The Guardian at the feeder. Mr. Paw only eats one piece of kibble at a time. If the bowl is almost empty, with individual pieces separated from each other, he will eat straight from the bowl; otherwise, he will push some kibble out of the bowl with his paw and eat the kibble pieces one at a time off the floor. Even though this slows down his pace a lot, Mr. Paw is usually determined to eat his fill; he can be seen eating kibble, one piece at a time, for up to 20 minutes.
Mr. Paw doesn't mind cats watching him, but he doesn't like when cats try to eat with him in the feeder. When cats start eating from the bowl while he's eating, he will leave the feeder. Besides eating, Mr. Paw likes to sit at the back of the feeder and watch other cats eat.
Appearance
Mr. Paw looks almost identical to The Guardian. However, there are some small visual tells that identify Mr. Paw. His right ear is noticeably clipped, showing that he has undergone TNR; The Guardian's right ear is not clipped. In addition, the stripes on the end of his tail are different from The Guardian's. Mr. Paw is an almost solid orange tabby; the only patch of white he has is around his mouth. Depending on the lighting, his tabby stripes can be somewhat faint, but they are always visible on his legs. Mr. Paw is about an average size and weight, although he looks a little fluffy from certain angles.
