I has been known for some species of cat to rather enjoy the water, so the general assumption that "cats don't like water" is not entirely true. The Manx, a tailless species of cat is a known example of one that "likes" water (assuming cats are capable of such emotions).

What I'd like to know is, does the cat voluntarily jump in, by itself, with no prompting, when it goes for these swims? If not, its probably making the best of a bad situation...

I'm sorry but I'm very suspicious of stories like "cat likes to swim" "alpaca likes to surf" "chiuaha loves surfing" etc. I think often these past-times and environments are not really what the animal wants to do or where it wants to be. I shudder to think of the "training" some of these animals have to go through just for the entertainment, if you can call it that, of people.
