Everyone knows that most cats don\u2019t love water. They just don\u2019t enjoy being in it, and they\u2019ll typically do their best to avoid it.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s always an exception to a rule. And one kitty who very much enjoys swimming is that exception.<\/p>\n

It would seem that one particular Maine Coon cat is a tad braver than others!<\/p>\n

The breed, known for its large size, is typical of Maine on the East Coast of the USA. They were popular \u201cmousers\u201d, on farms, ships and of course, in homes.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a rather useful breed, and according to Cattime.com, great with people:
\n\u201cThese kitties have more going for them than size. They\u2019re affectionate without being needy, they\u2019re adaptable, and they\u2019ve kept their hunting instincts, just in case you need a good mouser.\u201d<\/p>\n

This particular Maine Coon takes a brave yet cautious first foray into the water to greet her owner.<\/p>\n

After a few cautious paws in the water, she starts to cast her eyes further afield.<\/p>\n

What could she be looking at? Across the water, but not so far away is this curious kitty\u2019s owner, waiting patiently in the water, she quietly coos to this giant cat, boding it to her further in.<\/p>\n

But will this cat be brave enough?<\/p>\n

Apparently, she\u2019s very brave indeed!<\/p>\n

Brave enough it would seem, to go past the paw, and go rather deep. Perhaps that\u2019s why they needed to put a collar on her if she was going to be that adventurous.<\/p>\n

At least this cat gets to go on fun adventures into the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

And yes, she makes it!<\/p>\n

Well, her bravery gets her more than one foot in the water, but eventually all of them. And not only that, but she manages to tip-toe all the way to her mom. With a cautious probing hand, she even reaches out to her.<\/p>\n

Clearly, this cat loves and trusts her mom to follow her into a lake!<\/p>\n

And her mom is so delighted to have her there with her. It\u2019s clear that these two have a real bond between them.<\/p>\n

So much so that her kitty will brave the unknown water of a lake to get to her.<\/p>\n

And as if looking from approval, she looks up to her other owner. What a jolly family they all make in the great outdoors!<\/p>\n

And how lucky for this couple to have such an adventurous cat, so keen to join them on one adventure after another.<\/p>\n

As well as content to sit and watch the\u2026geese.<\/p>\n

I guess it\u2019s not just humans who enjoy sitting back and enjoying views of the great outdoors. You\u2019d think that such a large cat with a propensity for hunting would be more tempted to chase such a large group of birds.<\/p>\n

Maybe not because it\u2019s also a group of large birds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s adorable to watch this kitty swimming and having a great time. What a sweetheart.<\/p>\n
