Most cats don’t like water, but when you’re a fishing cat kitten called Puddles it just wouldn’t be right if you didn’t like getting your paws wet.
The little feline was presented with a tray of water by his keepers at Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Gardens and, after a nervous first few steps, took to it like a charm.
Puddles is the offspring of 11-year-old Miri and three-year-old Boon, but after Miri did not naturally take to motherhood he had to be hand-reared by keepers at the zoo.
Puddles’ birth is part of a breeding effort to protect the species, which is under threat due to habitat destruction, hunting and the exotic pet trade.
