Queensland cat has Olympic-level swimming skills

Cats are not known for being big fans of the ocean, but for Nathan from Queensland, doing a few laps among the waves is no fuss at all.

If you know anything about cats, you will know that they are not fans of water. Showers or swimming will not be found among their most favourite hobbies, and that is just that. 

But what if there are exceptions to this rule?

For Nathan, a rescue cat from Queensland, Australia, swimming came as part of the package when she was adopted by Rian and Melissa.

The two are an outdoorsy couple, and they encouraged Nathan (who is a girl, but whose name Rian and Melissa kept as a joke) to explore the water with them every time they visited the beach. 

Nathan feels safe in the water as long as her parents are nearby. And it turns out she is a very competent swimmer!
