| Approval Level*: | None; Water Shrews are common in the forest. | |
| Kill Difficulty: | Low; Water Shrews do not have any natural weapons that could injure a cat. | |
| Hunting Difficulty: | Advanced; Water Shrews spend most of their life in the water, and are highly sensitive to vibrations in the ground, so a hunter needs a good crouch. | |
| Food Quality: | Low; While shrews possess rich flesh they provide little more than a few mouthfuls of food. | |
| *Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a species currently active in their area. These ratings are mainly for those creatures that are uncommon or pose a threat of some sort to the cats. | ||
