How surprising.

Heavy water makes heavy cat heavier. Noted.

Aristotle, barely able to hear the other cat due to the blood rushing in his ears, managed to get his paws on the riverbed. Digging his claws in, he caught his footing and let go of the cat below him. And then he... stood up. In the river. That didn't even go up to his shoulders.

Oh.

Hm, interesting. He wasn't drowning at all. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even close to drowning, having panicked for zero reason. Although his eyes and lungs still burned, Aristotle turned his attention to the cat beside him. His ears flattened against his head, mind working to figure out what to do. Should he drag the other out? Should he just go to the shore and wait? Should he just stand there? Would it make the situation worse if he tried to help? He truly didn't know- it was as though he was frozen in place.

Well, this was a predicament.
