When I was 6 years old, I filled a bathtub up with water and held my cat Ricky above it. Ricky had never been in water before, but judging how he writhed, he knew he wanted no part of it. I dropped him in. To my amazement, after panicking for a second, Ricky started to swim!

He paddled to the side of the tub, clawed his way up, and sped out of the bathroom at high speed. Despite zero experience with water, Ricky knew how to swim. I wonder how much of what we do is learned vs already known, deep down inside of us, ready to come out when we jump in.

P.S. I never did that again to Ricky. He was a wonderful companion and I miss him greatly.
