We had one once and weren't immediately aware of their proclivity for water. The first time I saw her swimming in the bathtub, I was amazed. It's been thirty years, but I still feel badly for going to answer the phone once and leaving the water in the tub too hot. She leaped straight out and didn't "go swimming" after that. She was deaf. Fairly common in white cats, according to our vet, and a real sweetheart.
