About Koicats
Koicats are cats that evolved to have the ability to live in water. They have evolved a koi-like tail and gills invisible to the naked eye. They can breath both freshwater and saltwater areas.
Diet
Their diets consists of marine sea creatures such as crustaceans (crabs and lobsters) or small fish.
Height
They are usually 3 feet tall. Some monster koicats can grow to 6-7 feet tall.
Abilities
Other than swimming gracefully and breathing underwater, koicats have a toxic bite that's poisonous to marine creatures, but gladly not marine mammals, humans and other koicats. They also produce a nasty smell when threatened, and they are powerful enough to break a turtle's shell. They can also breath air too, as their lungs still maintain the same.
How To Tame One From The Wild
To tame one from the wild, one must approach it carefully. The koicats will usually swim away if not done correctly. Once it is correctly done, the koicat will usually approach it. Carefully stick your hand out, and let it come to you and smell your scent. Once it associates you as a friend, you must give him/her fish and stroke him/her on the head. You must do this everyday to maintain your bond. Once you have bonded with this friend, carefully put your hand beneath him/her and lift it. Rock it in a gentle motion and it will associate you as a companion. Don't worry if they start to lick your face or chin, it's their way to show affection to their master.
