Aquatic Cat

These are someone's average furry critter. Nope! Aquatic cats are slender and covered in scales. While they do contain some fur, it is slick and water glides off it easily. Aquatic cats are also the size of a domesticated cat, small but just as fun and crazy.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The aquatic cat is slender with very little fur. It usually has two front legs while its back end resembles a fish tail or a seahorse's tail. Scales and fins cover their body in various ways, mostly on the back or face. Their eyes contain the reflective look a cat has when in light and their pupils are always slits.

Ecology and Habitats

Aquatic cats typically live in watery domains, such as the sea surrounding the Triol Islands. If an aquatic cat is found in some kind of fresh water, like a lake, the aquatic cat is referred to as a freshwater cat.

Dietary Needs and Habits

An aquatic cat can merely survive off of small fish, shrimp, and other aquatic creatures. Small birds that land in the water, such as ducklings, make a perfect snack in the middle of the day.

Behaviour

by Amelia Nite (Stable Diffusion)
Every type of cat likes to play, especially with their food. But an aquatic cat doesn't just play with its food, it also causes mayhem around it. Wildly known to be attracted to water and boats of all shapes and sizes, an aquatic cat enjoys splashing people with salt water, tipping the small boats — like canoes, and their favorite activity is chewing up fishing nets. This last act happens when an aquatic cat is either hungry or sometimes, they just want to annoy the fishermen while making a sound similar to a chortle. If good fish is around, an aquatic cat will do just about anything to get it, even if it means destroying property.

Additional Information

Domestication

Aquatic cats can be kept as pets, but only if one is able to take care of them — a habitat or shelter and a food source. These beasts are typically not hard to take care of, despite the sliminess of their scales when they come out of the water.

Average Intelligence

All aquatic creatures carry some form of intelligence, but none have it down like the aquatic cat, who can communicate with sirens via their fins and whatever melodic tune they release when talking.
