Shrimp Cats are curious animals so named because they have the front half of a cat and the back half of a shrimp. They're only a bit smaller than your average house cat, and usually live near the ocean, although they can go further inland for short periods of time as long as they don't dry out. Researchers have seen a variety of Shrimp Cats in all shapes, colors and sizes, but for some reason only a few near-white or completely white ones have been spotted...





The lifecycle of a Shrimp Cat starts at, of course, kittenhood. These peculiar species of cat-shrimp hybrid are born in eggs the size of your fist and can grow quite fast until the end of this stage.

At kittenhood, your average Shrimp Cat is about the size of a small hamster to the size of a small lap dog, depending on genetics. Their eyes has not opened yet, so they are completely blind like normal kittens. However, these cats are not deaf. In fact, at birth is when their hearing is best. This is so they can find their food at a young age, should they ever be separated from their parents too early.

The average weight at this stage is anywhere from 30 lbs to 60 lbs in captivity. Yeah, these cats are quite heavy! But don't worry, this weight is all in the huge amounts of fur that a Shrimp Cat is hatched with, so they could stay alive and be warm in colder depths.

Statistics
Height - 10in to 30in from paws to tip of antennae
Weight- 30lb to 60lb
Senses- Hearing, Touch, Smell, some Taste

It takes quite a few years and a few things to happen for a Shrimp Cat to be considered an adult. For example, they mush shed a lot of their fur to lighten the load so they can swim up to the surface, and to also make it easier to swim. It's hard to do it with a lot of fur!

Another thing that differentiates an adult from a child is size. The average adult Shrimp Cat is about 2-3' tall. Some of the largest Shrimp Cats have been seen to grow to 8 feet tall! No, no, wait, that's just a children's tale, right?

Statistics
Height - 2 to 3 feet from paws to tip of antennae
Weight - 40lb to 90lb
Senses - All

Shrimp cats have the same behaviors as your normal household feline, other than their tendencies to love the water! Just like normal cats, Shrimpcats can have many different personalities, all depending on how they are raised, and who their owner is! Though, one thing that won't change for any shrimp cat is its love of sleeping, and its mischievousness. They also love to play, most of the time, with anything from normal cat toys, to some large underwater creatures. No two shrimp cats will be the same, however, just like a normal cat would be. Overall, they are usually very well behaved and don't tend to hold a bad nature.
