Mako the cross-eyed shark.

I kept Mako from Crystal's 1st litter because he had these real blue eyes that were cross-eyed and he soon developed this habit of ambushing people's ankles and biting them,playfully,he never drew blood, so blue shark = a mako.
his habit was dangerous because he got accidently kicked so often,sometimes across the room, that he was nearly called Dropkick. luckily he grew up with no brain damage and was an excellent cat, when i got home from work he would jump on the bonnet of my car as soon as i stopped moving,meowing at me thru the windscreen!
every time you said his name he would meow, even when he was asleep. he was always intrested in anything i did, always watching.
one time he come running inside frothing at the mouth, he must of tried to eat a cane toad which excretes a toxin thru its skin,so i grabbed him, forced his mouth open and washed his mouth out under the tap.
Mako and my thumb recovered nicely.
he liked dogs, playing with them like he was one. he even fetched sticks!
but that was his downfall, he went missing and i found him dead covered in saliva. he was 11 years old.
i was devastated.
