In the clip, Selleck cautiously approaches the water's edge and slowly wades in with a puzzled look on his face before suddenly taking off swimming like a natural!

His owner watches in disbelief as the back cat glides through the waves like he's done it a hundred times.

"Tell him he's not supposed to get in the water with socks on," one viewer joked after spotting the cat's white paws.

Another wrote, "I've never seen a cat swim on purpose before."
