As well as his well-known black Labrador dog Nigger, Wing Commander Guy Gibson, of Bomber Command and also "Dambusters" fame, had a cat named Windy that apparently accompanied him on many of his hazardous wartime missions. He was described as 'an all-swimming, all-flying cat, who put in more flying hours than most cats'!
There is only one breed of cat who regulary swimm, but they are middle eastern. Cats in Britian will swim, if the water is around blood temp, otherwise they will run away.
