This adorable cat loves water and enjoys nothing more than going for a swim.

Bandit can doggy paddle and even enjoys kayaking trips with his family.

Karen Hardee, 26, and her boyfriend got six-month-old Bandit two months ago and have since introduced him to the water activities that they love.

Respiratory therapist Karen, of Lake Wales, Florida, USA, said: “I wanted to see if he could actually swim so we got him a life jacket and we got him in the water and he just went for it.

"He was swimming back to the kayak after jumping out. When we got him, he was still kind of small, so we started him in the bathtub until he got used to the water,.

“Now when we take him to the lake he’ll go and get his feet wet. We got a kayak and he was a little scared at first, but once he gets on, he loves it.

“He’ll move around and look in the water.”
