The café’s ginger tom — 「將軍不喜歡人。」 He doesn’t like people, with exactly one exception nobody can explain.
Who they are
A ginger tom who lives at 珍貓, 吳老闆’s cat café. The house line on him is 「將軍不喜歡人。」 and it holds: he does not come when called, does not perform for customers, and leaves a lap the moment the lap starts making it about him. The one exception is 白龍 — he shadows him, claims his lap, and sleeps there, and nobody, 白龍 included, can say why.
The group has made a running bit of his rank, treating it as literal, down to a standing unsettled argument about which branch he served in — 陸軍? 海軍? 空軍? He answers the salutes and the 命令 by going back to sleep.
Personality
Aloof and unbothered; slow and deliberate. Claims the same sunny window ledge every morning and expects the room to route around him; takes being fed as his due, not as a kindness. He is a fixed part of the room rather than a participant in it — present for every argument, every study session, every bad idea, and unmoved by all of them.
Look
A normal-build adult ginger tabby tom of ordinary healthy proportions: soft amber-orange with darker marmalade swirl stripes, the classic “M” on the forehead, cream-white muzzle, chin and chest bib, four white mitten paws. Wide-set copper-amber eyes, half-lidded with a faintly judgmental cast; one ear-tip notched like the alley survivor he is; a normal tail. His only gear is a slim dusty-teal collar with a small brass medal-tag.
The tell
He’s already been there a while before anyone notices him — half-lidded, watching the thing you thought was private.
