You misunderstand cat adaptation !!! These little bastards would learn to swim lazily before spending any effort on ninja moves :D Have you seen a well-fed pampered cat, the thing will meow for his food before even turning his head towards its human slave.

They're Gods making us do their bidding while they pretend we're the masters :D
