cat from a watery grave while staying afloat herself? Duh. Zero
tolerance for such shenanigans, whether her cat "enjoyed" swimming or
not!

That's true....we encourage folks to take cats out supervised if they live
near a busy street, even though I'm sure the cat would enjoy wandering on
its own, so why let - or worse, encourage - it to do something else at least
as unsafe, whether it wants to or not? I was hemming and hawing only
because I'm so quick to jump in without all the facts, but after hearing
both sides of the debate, I have to agree that, whether the cat enjoyed it
or not (and that in itself is debatable), it's an irresponsible thing to
involve your pet in. If your cat really likes water, get it a paddling pool
(and if it really likes waves, get it a whirpool attachment for the bath)!
