Mr Fresh (also known as 新鲜哥, Brother Fresh or "Side eye cat") is a famous internet cat, he has risen to fame thanks to a video of him looking at the camera in a peculiar way. He was named Mr Fresh after his patient yet picky behavior.

Behavior

Mr. Fresh only eats freshly dispensed food. He will stare at the camera and even touch it with his paws in rare occasions until fresh food is dispensed. It is said that he refuses to eat already dispensed kibbles since he once ate a bunch who had been contaminated by bird poop.

He has also been seen peeking his head near the sides of the feeders to check if other cats are currently present. He will not eat if there are other cats already at the feeder, and so he will retreat and return at another time or visit another available feeder.

He is scared of humans, being scared away when caretakers encounter him when they arrive to refill the feeders.

Appearance

Mr. Fresh appears to be a Domestic Shorthair cat. He has a Ginger Classic Tabby fur coat with low grade white spotting (White fur on the neck and paws, even extending to a small white spot to the left of his nose). He has Hazel eyes, and his paw beans are pink.

Sightings

Mr. Fresh is not seen very often, described to be a "Rare Encounter" by the community. Since he is such a celebrity, any stream in which he is sighted will increase in viewership considerably.

Although his first fighting is unknown, his first known appearance to internet fame dates back to October 8th, 2023, when TikToker @catzoo1 posted a clip of Mr fresh, which gained hundreds of thousands of views and likes in the span of a few months.

His most famous video, in which he gives "The side eye" to the camera was posted to TikTok on January 6th, 2024, by the user @marceloeguino. This video received millions of views and likes on the platform, and it was shared to many other social media websites, thus solidifying his presence in meme culture as the "Side eye cat".

On more recent sightings of him from the Hello Street App stream and other sources, it has been noticed that he has visibly gained more weight, looking a bit chubbier than on his original famous video, confusing new viewers who expect to see a skinny mr fresh.
