# Mr Fresh Side Eye Cat Mr. Fresh, also called Side Eye Cat, is an orange cat who became famous on the Chinese Hello StreetCat feeder livestream by staring at viewers until they dropped fresh food. His side-eye clip went viral on TikTok in January 2024 as a suspicion reaction meme. ## Overview Hello StreetCat is a Chinese livestream app where viewers can dispense food to street cats through remote-controlled feeders. Mr. Fresh, an orange cat regular, earned his nickname because he refused older kibble and would sit staring at the camera until someone paid for a fresh drop [2]. He also picked up the names Brother Fresh, Side Eye Cat, and Suspicious Cat Meme [7]. The clip that made him famous shows him shooting a sharp side-eye at the camera while waiting for food [3]. That look turned him into a reaction template for suspicion, impatience, and judgment. He sits alongside other Hello StreetCat regulars like the Cat Eating Then Looking Up cat, both of whom picked up fan art and remixes in early 2024 [7]. ## How It Spread Within a day of the side-eye clip going viral, X users repurposed it as a reaction. On January 7th, 2024, @JJPM_YT paired it with a Yu-Gi-Oh! joke about players spotting an NSFW playmat across the table, pulling over 2,700 likes [8].

Two days later, TikToker @zuum_5 posted a Mr. Fresh fancam that hit 21.9 million plays and 3.7 million likes in nine days [5]. On January 15th, X user @MR_FR1ENDSHIP shared a fresh GIF captioned 'the world must see this gif at once,' pulling over 48,000 likes in one day [4].
