I whipped up stats for the immature versions too, based on the few stats it gives for the 2HD juveniles and the 1HD cubs. I tweaked the Cubs movement, since I didn't think it made sense for a tadpole-kitten to have a much slower swim speed than a adult. If anything, it's better shaped for swimming.  Moat Cat, JuvenileSmall Magical Beast (Aquatic)Hit Dice: 2d10+2 (11 hp)Initiative: +7Speed: 30 ft.

Its spotted skin is sleek and smooth, and a set of gills can  be seen behind its jaws.A juvenile moat cat is 2 to 3 feet long and weighs 20 to 50 pounds.  Coloration varies from black to red to brown, with a series of spots of contrasting  colors (white mottling on black, black mottling on a red, and so forth). Eye  coloration is nearly always green.COMBATMoat cats generally lie in wait completely submerged, then spring up to  attack intruders. They savage foes much like a leopard, pouncing and raking  with its hind claws.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a moat cat must hit with  its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action  without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.Pounce (Ex): If a moat cat charges a foe, it can make a full  attack, including two rake attacks.Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +4 melee, damage 1d2. A juvenile moat cat  also gains two rake attacks when it attacks while swimming.Saltwater Sensitivity (Ex): A moat cat fully immersed in  saltwater must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or become fatigued. Even on a success,  it must repeat the save attempt every 10 minutes it remains immersed.Water Dependent (Ex): A juvenile moat cat can survive out of the  water for up to an hour. After that, the moat cat suffers 1d6 points of  nonlethal damage per hour until it reenters water.Skills: Moat cats have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move  Silently checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Jump checks. A moat  cat has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10  on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. A moat cat has a +8 racial  bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can  always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It  can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.  Moat Cat, CubTiny Magical Beast (Aquatic)Hit Dice: 1d10+1 (6 hp)Initiative: +7Speed: 20 ft.
