The useful part

This kitten's brave first swim is the cutest thing you're going to see today. The cat was surprisingly and incredibly calm when his human got him to the pool. Instead of trying to escape, he remained tucked against his owner while taking in the unfamiliar setting, looking very unconcerned.

How it works

  • He carefully holds the cat and starts getting closer and closer to the water, giving the animal time to look.
  • The owner waits patiently for the kitten to feel comfortable, and the kitten's calmness makes the moment even sweeter.
  • It's clear he trusts his human so much that he looked comfortable and at ease with the situation at all times, despite the fact that cats don't like water.
  • As they get closer to the water, the kitten sticks to his human's arms without ever feeling unprotected.
  • There is something tender about the instinct of holding on to the human so fearlessly.

What to take from it

The cat knows he is safe with him, so he rests against his shoulder, knowing there is no danger in the place.

Details worth keeping

I never expected a cat to love the water this much. So brave of his human not to fear being clawed. My cat would have ripped me into a million pieces by that time.
