History
Shakespeare Whiskers was born on November 8,2002. His mother was Flower and his father was Zaphod. Shakespeare was Flower's son from her very second litter born in Whiskers and he had one litter mate sister named Mozart and two brothers named Einstein and Freud. Freud disappeared as a juvenile on March 18,2003. Einstein left Whiskers to join Young Ones October 10,2004. Shakespeare and his sister Mozart were the two remaining members of that litter who stayed in Whiskers the longest. Shakespeare was frequently seen as a caring babysitter for the pups and was a regular babysitter. His sister Mozart was also a frequent babysitter in the Whiskers group though after her first litter with their older sister Badiel she became a regular evictee for their mother Flower the dominant female by then. Shakespeare was seen on Animal Planet documentary called Meerkat Manor when he saved his little brother Mitch, one of Flower's pups born on September 6,2004. Shakespeare became a regular helper though he met his first brush with death when he was bitten by a puff adder snake on November 23,2004. He limped badly from his snake bite but amazingly Shakespeare survived and became a fully functioning meerkat again. Sadly Shakespeare disappeared for an unknown reason and was last seen on March 11,2005.thumb|300px|right|Tribute to Shakespeare
