Meet Rocco, the beach-loving feline who's forever in his element by the sea.
This dashing fellow has an unwavering love for water and boats that's truly remarkable!
We spoke to Rocco's human mom Michelle and she told us that his aquatic adventures began when he was just a 12-week-old kitten, initially as part of his rehabilitation journey.
Little did she know that those boat trips would turn into a lifelong passion.
This charming cat has faced some challenges along the way, including two hip joint surgeries.
But, remarkably, boat trips and water activities played a crucial role in his recovery process.
Rocco's zest for life grew stronger with each recovery trip, transforming him into quite the intrepid explorer.
He's even earned his wings, flying alongside his human family on a monthly basis!
What makes Rocco even more captivating is his sense of style.
You'll often find him donning his signature hat and sunglasses, a look that might leave other cats, and humans, scratching their heads in amusement.
His unique sense of style has given Rocco a huge following on Instagram and TikTok.
On TikTok alone his videos have had 7 million likes and he has almost 200,000 dedicated fans that adore keeping up with his adventures.
While it might seem unconventional to witness a cat reveling in the water, Rocco is undeniably one-of-a-kind, rewriting the rulebook on feline adventures.
This lovable adventurer doesn't just lounge on the boat and bask in the sun; he occasionally tries his paw at some nautical tasks, like fishing.
Two-year-old Rocco also enjoys watersports, displaying a knack for hanging loose, if not exactly hanging ten!
As long as this extraordinary furry companion can dip his paws in the water, he's content.
When the beach isn't an option, a swimming pool does the trick, although Rocco still prefers to sunbathe on the sandy shores to dry off his lustrous fur.
Being so adventurous he's also partial to the occasional shopping trip.
His favourite store is Home Depot and all of the staff look forward to his visits.
Whenever this stylish cat makes his entrance, he effortlessly steals the spotlight, reigning as the undisputed king of the beach.
According to Michelle, this adorable cat is the epitome of relaxation. She describes him as being 'super lax.'
Watching him savor his beachside activities leaves no room for doubt.
Michelle also shared with We Love Cats and Kittens that Rocco simply goes with the flow, setting a beautiful example for all of us.
Perhaps there's a valuable lesson to be learned from this remarkable cat's story about embracing life's adventures with style, grace, and an unshakable spirit of curiosity and joy.
Maybe we can all learn something from his remarkable story.
