#Fishing Cat

[rongzhi]

OP: 在河边钓鱼偶遇流浪猫，因为喂过鱼给它们吃！所以一直跟着我，非常乖，果然万物皆有灵!

↳ Encountered stray cats by the river while fishing because I fed them fish in the past! Because of that, they've always followed me. They're very well behaved—as expected, all living things have a spirit!

English added by me :)

There is a semi aquatic cat species that has webbed paws

Not i'm NOT saying we are witnessing the evolution of a feline transitioning into an aquatic species but it would be cool. Just imagine its about 2 million or more years into the future and there are aquatic cats. They obviously wouldn't look like they do now but that would be dope. Again i'm not saying that will happen they might stay semi aquatic this is not a prediction.

Phylogenetic wild cat tournament

Leopard cat lineage

Genus: Prionailurus

Depth: 10 (9 wins away from championship)

Two pleasantly weird-looking cats, both living around water in Southeast Asia and preying mostly on fish. (My favourite sentence of flat-headed cat's wikipedia page: "They have been observed to wash objects, raccoon-style.") The fishing cat shows the standard Prionailurus spots, while the flat-headed cat is the only non-spotted member of the genus. (It's still agouti, not solid colored - in domestic cat terms, this pattern would be called ticked tabby.)

Fishing cats are well adapted to a life aquatic. Beneath their long outer coat they have a shorter layer of insulating fur that acts like a web suit, and they have webbed feet. Their long whiskers detect vibrations from fish moving in the shallows. BBC Earth
