We had a cat when I grew up, she hated being in your lap, but if you were sad and cried, she would sit next to you and purr like crazy.
We also had a pool, our cat never interacted with it to my knowledge, but if you dove under water for a bit, she would often come and check on you, meowing to get your or other’s attention.
She was an amazing cat, great huntress, and social enough normally.
I don’t have access to any pictures of her, but she was a black cat, short but thick fur with tuffs her ears.
