This is a sponsored post created in partnership with Purina. However, I used their products prior to this arrangement & voice only my true & honest opinions. Fisher is a water cat. I have never heard of anything like that in my entire life and I most certainly did not believe it when I heard it. Then I went on a kayak trip with Fisher, which is a little odd since I’ve never even met a cat that would step in a boat. Mine would try to claw your eyes out if you put them in a car. I realized that day, and many since, that Fisher is a different kind of cat.
A cross between a Bengal and a Burmese, Fisher is a Puma. Tan in color, he has a playful attitude that disguises his role as a desperate hunter. Always selfless, gifts of lizard bones lie scattered around our home like tributes. I really didn’t know that Pumas liked water, or any cat, for that matter. I stood my ground in disbelief and ignorance until, on an afternoon adventure, I witnessed Fisher jump out of a kayak and wade in the shallow water of a Caloosahatchee River sandbar. Another time, the water cat jumped off the kayak and began leisurely swimming toward a nearby mangrove island. Other times it’s been to jump into someone else’s kayak. Totally cool. This is the nature of a cat? It sure is for my Fisher!
Purina ProPlan is devoted to capturing the amazing nature of cats. They have teamed up with filmmaker Darren Dyk, creator of the popular YouTube channel, BeyondSlowMotion to capture #CatsTrueNature and help us to figure out what makes them so darned extraordinary. See how the slow motion video catches all the kitty twists and turns that are usually too fast to see.
Catch your cat in the act of doing something extraordinary or just having fun and your video might be featured on ProPlan.com. For that kind of star power, feed your favorite feline something extraordinary. Make it Pro Plan True Nature wet cat food, dry cat food, and kitty treats every time.
I don’t have any pets, but I do think its really interesting to get their point of view through video. I’m excited to check out the Youtuber you mentioned and see his videos! Also, I never thought of cats enjoying water, how crazy!
I can’t imagine seeing a cat jump into water from a kayak, or at least either of my cats! However, one of my cats runs to the bath tub for a drink out of the faucet every time any one in our house heads towards the bathroom! He loves to drink from the tub , but he doesn’t like to get his feet wet. Go figure!
I can’t believe any common housecat is loving life on the water.
AMAZING that Fisher is a water cat! I gave my cat a bath once and I still have the scars, HOWEVER she IS a travelling cat, and has been on many boats before, cars, hotels, cabins, cottages, but she will NOT go in any water although she enjoys sailing on it 🙂
I would love to own a cat that likes water
Wow – amazing video! Would love to try it out on my pets and see what I can capture!
I am really rethinking this whole dog / cat thing. We have a dog and he gets car sick bicycle riding sick ect. This cat is way cool and would be fun to do outdoor activities with unlike my dog 🙁
A cat that loves water? Who would have thought? And my dog hates water!
great gopro! I want to own 1 long time ago!!!!
very interesting
A water-cat – who would have thought, our daughter’s kitty loves watching while we bath the dog, but that is all
I don’t have a cat but it would be interesting to see what our dog does.

The cat looks like it is waiting for a fish. It makes me wonder if cats can smell a fish in the water.
always wanted to hook up a camera to my cat to see their view
I think it would be interesting to have a camera on an outdoor cat all day to see what they get up to. Would love to win a GoPro!
Cats are the unintentional clowns of the animal kingdowm, a joy to watch, and always making you laugh. With a GoPro, you can capture all their silly moments forever!
That is so amazing. I have never known a cat to like water before. Most cats using run from it. My granddaughter’s cat jumps into car windows and did this last week. When they go to where they were going, the cat jumped out and ran away. By the grace of God, we had a horrible storm, the cat got scared & jumped into someones house window. Due to flyers being put up in the area, my granddaughter was able to get her cat back in two days.
The cats are fascinating. You can tell that they have such fun quirks in them.
GoPro’s are awesome with them you can see the world from a different perspective. Love the cat!
I love the idea of putting it on the cat – I might try that!
surprised to see cat on a boat
I like the GoPro !
I’ve been wanting to get a camera to see what my animals do when I’m not home
i have a maine coon cat who loves the water.
It was fascinating to see a at take to the water that way. I remember trying to bathe mine and how terrfied she was
That’s pretty cool that he goes out on a kayak! and he even swims! (:
My cat would go nuts trying to get the camera off! lol
Gotta say, I’m rather shocked to see a cat on a boat – sounds more like dr. seuss than reality.
Cats definitely have an independent streak and you never know what one will decide to like to hate!
my cat does not like water. i have always wanted a cool cat i can walk like a dog and that likes to swim… but nope. i got a pretty prince(ss). He is cute though…
Love to own a Go Pro Camera
Great site and a fab prize!
There is no way my cat would get that close to water.
Fisher looks like such a wonderful cat! I sure would be surprised to see my cat swimming too!
That must have been such a fun experience! Fisher is an awesome cat!
I’ve never heard of a “water cat” before. That’s so weird.
This is a beautiful way to capture nature.
Your cat is beautiful! My sister loves Bengals. Although if your kitty is leaving you gifts, it’s not to be nice, it’s because they think you don’t know how to hunt lol my cat must think I’m a pretty good hunter as he’s never left me anything!
My cat loves high places, I have a picture of her on the top of an open door
My cat is the most uninteresting sack of fur on the planet .. but I am thinking that maybe he has a secret, fun life when he disappears downstairs on his own! I hope so!
I don’t have a cat but I do have a dog and I would love to see his perspective, especially as he chases squirrels around the yard.
I think capturing wildlife is amazing.
A GoPro would be great for taking those unique pictures.
Would love a GoPro to film my cats!
My gopro would never move if I tried to tape my cats. They sleep allllll dayyyy longgggg
Purina ProPlan sounds fun!
What cool cats! Mine never do anything exciting LOL.
this camera looks amazing and the clarity of the photos is amazing
A gopro would be so fun to take on vacation as well as to document daily adventures, just like this cat! We have some very comical dogs who would make good video stars!
What a cool cat your Fisher kitty is! I’ve never seen a cat that likes water but yours sure seems to like it. Very fun video.
Rarely do you see cats that like the water! I only know of my sister’s cat who likes to sit on the side of the bathtub when she’s in there & paws the water.
Great shots of the kitty! My poor kitties go nuts at the site of water
I think it’s so neat how you have the cat on the boat
It’s really cool that your cat is into water. You have a great story for parties and when you meet people.
i did not know cats could swim or do those things!!!!!!!!! wow, how interesting!!!!!!!
Love the pictures of the cat on the lake, lol. So cool! 🙂
Holy batman, luv the cat. Divine. Wow, prize GoPro is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Pick me, pick me! Your next winner!!! Show me the money!!! It would be a dream come true and means more to me than anyone else to win. Starving artist here desperately needs the GoPro to work and eat. Winner, winnner. Chicken dinner. A life changing experience. Top of my bucket list. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Dear Santa: I’ve been nice. My X-Mas wish this year is to win this contest.
I would so much love to film my cat while he’s in action. He is a hero!
What a little cutie!! I love how she likes the water!
I’m surprised that it would go diving in. Our Maine Coon mix in theory likes water, soaking herself getting a drink from the sink, but is too prissy to get her paws wet.
I like the pictures with the cat on the lake.
It would be interesting to watch a video that came from an animal’s perspective/view.
Awesome cat 🙂
I’m not normally a big fan of cats, but this one looks like we could be friends.
Awesome videos! I would love to get a GoPro.
Gotta love cats, they are awesome.
Outstanding feline. Nice to see a cat that enjoys the outdoors so much
I love the pictures you took of your cat.
Cats are such quirky creatures!
I would love to attach a camera to my cats for a day to see what they get up to! They don’t get to go anywhere near water other than the tub, and then they only skirt the edges..
I love your cat. I want to take pictures of my cat
I love the idea of catching my cat on camera doing something funny.
Your cat made me smile and reminded me of my own three cats! Great post!
Wow you cat seems to like the water more than my dog! I need them to give my dog some lessons.
that was awesome
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a cat that takes to the water like yours does.
Your cat is so amazing and a water baby love it! As I write this post, I’m laughing at myself, because we were only dog lovers, then one day we had a feral baby cat with no mom on our doorsteps at first I thought oh no what do we do? Keep it or Call the humane society. 5 years later best decision ever to keep our cat Lele, she has given us so much joy, love & fun, she even chases balls lol, I want to give her the best food like this Purina Pro plan keep her happy and healthy for a long long time. Thank you for sharing an awesome post!
Very interesting blog post! Bravo!
Col
I have never seen anything like that before
You have a great cat. I didn’t think they like to swim!
We have a Bengal and he likes to jump into the bathtub, when it’s full of water.
GoPro and nature a powerful combination!
What an amazing cat. I had a friend who had 2 siamese cats and they would lay in the sink and love it when there was water in the sink. I don’t think they’d go in the water, though.
So cool! I want to try it with my big puppy! Thanks!
I find it amazing that Fisher likes the water so much
You have such an adventurous cat. I haven’t had one since I was a teenager. The thing ours used to do was bring us his catch = like a mouse or a bird. He would sit there with his catch in his mouth and just wait. He really was very proud of them… He would have loved to go kayaking.
love the kitty pics & vids. No matter how many cat pics I see online, it never gets old. I guess I’m a cat lover.
Cats are wonderful animals. They make great companions for all ages.
I love the pictures with the cat on the lake.
Wow! That cat is amazing!
I would love to win a gopo camera
Would love to be able to catch our cats in action also!!!
I have never seen a cat love the water so much.
Aw your cat is so beautiful. Can’t believe he can walk so calmly in the water like that, so rare to see a cat that actually doesn’t mind the water. My dog I have now is the first pet I’ve had that enjoys the water, and it still supersizes me after years every single time she jumps in the water, but so cute!
I absolutely love cats!!! Mine is rescue she’s pretty cool, loves belly rubs! 🙂
Fisher the Water Cat is quite talented giving gifts of lizard bones then the ability to swim. The owner of the water cat was cautious in letting Fisher reveal his talents for swimming so he would not get lost. I hope he has many years of playful rides in his Kayak
Cats are such amazing animals. Our cats never stop amazing me with what they do sometimes!
OH man it would be so funny to catch my cat on video doing ridiculous stuff!
Cat videos, almost as much fun as watching Donald Trump debate.
My cat was okay with water as long as she wasnt in it. Loved sitting at the edge of the tub watching the water.
My cat freaks around water lol!
Fisher sounds like a amazing cat. Never heard of a water cat before. I really don’t think our cats would like going near the water.
beautiful photos
a very cute cat and so fun
Love the Cat!!!
I laughed out loud when I saw the top picture.
So cool!
What an adorable kitty!! The pictures are beautiful!
I have a dog that i swear she thinks shes a cat so I understand the love for your cat
I love the pictures with the cat on the lake!
Love the idea of following the cat with the GoPro.
love those pictures- I have 1 dog but I still would love to win this!
My dog helps me look for mushrooms lol. She’s such a smarty pants
We have 5 dogs be interesting to see what they do in the woods.
Cats can be so cool & so funny at times!
my cat acts like a dog.
Wow, your cat sure is brave. My cat loves the water but hates to get wet.
This is incredible! I love to kayak but my cats would have nothing to do with that even if I forced them.
Aw your cat looks so fun!
Great pictures. I wish my cat enjoyed being outside.
what a adorable cat
Such a versatile camera.
I love your cat, i have 2 crazy cats
My cat would not go anywhere near the water. She’d tear me to pieces if I attempted to stick her in a boat!
Our cat would have taken my face off at the first sign of water. That is so cool, thanks for sharing. I would not have believed it.
what a great cat! he sounds like lots of fun, interesting that he had such fun.
So what made you think he would like the kayak trip in the first place?
I don’t have any pets, but I do think its really interesting to get their point of view through video. I’m excited to check out the Youtuber you mentioned and see his videos! Also, I never thought of cats enjoying water, how crazy!
