This Cat Is So Fascinated With Water That He Was Nicknamed “Kyle The Mermaid Cat”
Most cats want nothing to do with water, but Kyle is clearly not most cats. This 10-month-old rescue has turned sinks, tubs, and splashing into his favorite pastime, and the internet cannot get enough of him.
Nicknamed Kyle the Mermaid Cat, he seems fascinated by every drop he can reach. From pawing at water instead of just drinking it to diving into bath-time fun, Kyle keeps proving that some cats really do break the mold.
And once you see him in action, it is hard not to wonder how far his obsession goes.
“Hi, my name is Kyle, and this is my brother Simon. As you can see, we have different parents (he is waaay bigger than me, but I am stronger 😼). Even when he is sometimes annoying, I love him the most ❤️.”
Kyle is the kitty on the right.
Kyle the "Purrrmaid" can't get enough of splashing in the water with his paws while he takes a bath.
Look at him
Below, you can see Kyle splashing in the sink. While many cats enjoy examining the water, only a few go as far as this.
He joyfully lays down in the sink, getting drenched. He's always interested in the water, and he's having a great time.
It's no surprise that the video has received over 1.7 million views.
You would think that water is his natural habitat:
You'd be correct if you assumed this cat was born a mermaid. Kyle was unusually drawn to liquids from the start, as you can see below.
Instead of licking from a saucer, the kitten must reach in and extend his paw.
That same rescue energy reminds us of Lilo’s “just in time” surveillance-camera rescue, and how she embraced her new life.
“Little Mermaid growing 🧜♀️⭐”
Kyle recently received a bright yellow tub to play with. He's drawn to it like a magnet right away and can't seem to get enough of it.
This orange ball offers some intrigue, but Kyle's favorite toy is the water itself.
“First time 🛁🐱🧜♀️”
The Turkish Van, a rare breed known as the "Swimming Cat," is best renowned for its swimming abilities." With a built-in wetsuit, the Turkish Van can paddle around as much as she likes.
But can they beat Kyle in watersports?
