- On this episode of Soulmates, we meet Mike and his gray tabby kitten Gracie. When Mike was helping out around his uncle's house on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, he heard little meows coming from inside a wall. He found a tiny 5-week-old kitten all by herself. He took Gracie in, and soon found out she was no ordinary cat when he took her to the beach and she ran right into the ocean to swim with him.
You can keep up with Gracie and all of her adventures on Instagram, graciegoesadventuring: thedo.do/adventuregracie. You can also keep up with Mike and his explorations on Instagram, musher86: thedo.do/musher.

When cat follows you into the water that is a complete trust
trinity 777 right because he hasn’t taken her to the vet. That’s when my sweeties lost trust in me. :(
She really loves him
not if a tiger lol
i wish my cat do that.. most cat these day are jerk sometimes
Major Allen Espy lol if a tiger follows you into the water... RIP 😂
She doesn't love the water. She loves you
❤
❤️
😭😭😭
stellei masealii ❤️
she tolerates the water
Cats are simply one of the most incredible things sharing the planet with us and I wish more people understood just how lucky we are they choose to be around us the way they do!!!! Pure joy and love wrapped in a purrrfectly soft coat of fur!!!
They are incredible... if they didn't exist and we found a kitten as cute as this we would think it was from our wildest cuteness imagination... but because there's so many we take them for granted and throw them away 😿
So I think you're saying that you like cats, huh
@@ignatiusreilly8280Do you have a problem with people who like cats? 😒
So true. I'm a happy cat mom and love my male kitty.
I have a cat that i got when his eyes were just starting to open. And he was a big hunter he would bring home rabbits, squirrels, pheasant, medium sized turkey. He would bring back fish from the lake. He's 22 years old now and is just laying back. He even saved my mom and I from a house fire. He has his own room and a twin size bed. He is the best and greatest cat. And he loves the tub fild with water so he can swim again. Love your cat❤
Extraordinary!! What a treasure your boy is. He should write a memoir! I would buy that 😃❤️😻🥰
Wonderful story. Thank you for telling us about your fabulous cat. ♥️🇺🇸
You sound like a happy cat owner. Your kitty truly loves you. You both are blessed. 🐈💕💕
Living with a cat on a beautiful island? This guy's living the dream.

It's not negative at all, what are you on about?
This is a rare thing. You don't own a cat ~ a cat OWNS YOU. I loved this💕
So so true .😻
NOPE
And when a cat owns you, it is the best feeling in the world.
What a GREAT dad! Gracie has such an awesome personality. You two are made for each other and it's obvious you make each other happy.
You have to understand that you don't pick the cat...the cat picks you.
_Exactly!_
Same as dog?
100% true with all 6 cats we’ve had.
Yeah he he, Cats thinking "Hey look at this dude, he's not getting away"
lol yeah
Love how he washes the salt out of her fur with warm water and then dries her off, and then she has nap time.
It's amazing
just like a child, literally
It's a good thing he does that. Salt can be poisonous to cats
@@Octavia-nd3br I thought cats can filter salt water
@@l21n18 Oh. Thanks, I always use my cat to filter saltwater
You are a wonderful cat Daddy !! ❤❤
Gracie loves you so much !!
Thank you so much for rescuing her and loving her and giving her a forever loving home !!💞💕💞
What a wonderful swimmer she is and at only 5 weeks !! Lol !🎉❤🎉
Wow, such an amazing creature.
I love it when animals blatantly choose their ‘owners’.
GregzVR Gracie the aqua cat!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They sense a good soul.
I don't think there was much of a choice. I bet the local wildlife are enthusiastic about having a cat running loose.
I'm sorry but no, she'd go with anyone, its just that most won't look twice at a street cat.
Not blantly say BLINDLY😂😂
Dad: I don't want a cat

❤
Me too , agree all the way 👍
That is pure affection, i wish every relationship was like that.
That’s a cute cat fish you got there. 🥹
This cat has a better life than most human children.
African children
Sarah Burggraf they don’t have to worry about homework, college, or a job
Domestic pets have the best life out of anybody
Sarah Burggraf wasn't saying anything wrong about this cat's wonderful life, were you Sarah? I took your compliment as a push--up to the cat's dad that they have such a fun and adventurous life. People aren't finding enough to be angry about today so I guess they'll start picking on people who rescue 😺 kitty cats and develop sweet trusting relationships with them.
I don't get it.
@@onniali3945 that was exactly how i intended the comment, as in wow what a good man to adopt and care for a kitten so tenderly💜. Some times i read u tube comments and i think how much crack did these ppl smoke b 4 they started typing 😉
And then there’s my cat that spends the whole day on the couch
I think we have the same cat
Im like your cat then
Dont you play with your cat?
Sharptooth of course I do, but sometimes she gets a bit lazy
As we see in the video, they are just copying our behaviour. ;)
She’s amazing and one of a kind! Keep her safe and away from predators on the island! Does my heart good and thank you for giving her a wonderful life ❤️
She’s adorable!
"My human keeps getting in the wet. I saves him. Lots."

@@ilvernia473 Lol yep
Hilarious!
When I got in the bath my cat would look at me with great disapproval & concern plus disgust, like she was thinking, :-"Even tiny kittens know better than to sit in a big puddle. You must be crazy!"
1:46 When she gets pushed away by the little wave :D
L. Gyger LOL I loved that too
So cute
Хахахахаха аааааа😍😍😍😍😍
Yes, and she is so brave, I love her tenacity.
Perfect timing
Two souls that needed each other and luckily they found each other 😊❤️
Excellent video. That Kitten obviously looks to you as her family and her Dad. Well done, and you must feel imense satisfaction for what you have done.
I thought I needed a girlfriend. Now, I know that I just need a kitten.
omg I love how it happened to me
Metallica! :D
Try both.
Got myself two awesome cats (my first pets) after my ex cheated on me. Never regretted, they actually cover most of our oxytocin need (the love hormon that makes you crave a partner)
@@Peter_Parker69 thought i got cheated on but it was just her cuz and I was 5 btw
When you find cats and they attach themselves to you, you don’t get any say in the matter. You have been chosen
You got it!🐾😉👍🏼
It's a tiny baby, smartass... It has a need. This cliché is sh-- and has a dark subtext, like all the dumb clichés that get mindlessly repeated about cats. Again: It's a baby!
I got that with two street cats
"This is the way"
Its the law
One of the most heart warming stories I’ve ever seen ❤
See how thoughtful this man is, he always washes her fur with fresh water then dries her up with towels ! 👍very good daddy 😻💪👋
Congrats human. You've been adopted. It is a high compliment.
Yes! 🙌🏼❤
*hooman 😂
He's gay though. Real men don't like cats.
"She's growing into a full grown cat, which is....scary, but pretty awesome." Haha, this cat's totally this man's child.
Totally!!!
Of course ^^
I thought the same :-). A proud dad. Apple of his eye. Lifelong bond
İ love people who love cats
@@hananedkierallah662 why, you have good taste!😀
You and Gracie are so adorable together. There's nothing like it when perfection happens. I've got one of three that we named Monkey (because she loves climbing things), she's my nap/lap-kitty. She even licks my hand when she wants me to wake up from a nap. They are so precious!
I watch this video every time to just feel good about life---seeing their relationship makes me so happy and I smile the whole video. They are so special together! I hope they have each other for a really really long time!
Omg the Waves pushing her as she walks into the water so adorable
That's exactly what i noticed and was about to write in the comments. But you did it 👌
She is so smol and cute
A cat who follows you even into the water. That's a story of trust.
Yea so cute 😊
Yea that sounds right lol
It may also just be stupidity.
Our Cat "Loki" loves to come in the shower or when i take a bath he also comes all the time.
Sometimes he just jumps in the water ^^
Its impossilbe to be alone in a room or outside in the garden. He always want to check out what i'm doing.
He is such a good boy 🌱❤✌🏼
@Glory to God her you mean not it, I fucking hate people calling animals it
What a lucky girl! She deserves the best life. Her dad is an amazing person!
The cat holding the toothbrush is so cute
The 982 dislikes are from cats who can’t swim
😂🤣😂
The most wholesome diss
Don't be silly. Most of them are from dogs. :)
@@GrenadeMagnet but most dogs can swim so what are you talking about
@@keniadelarosa3449 yeah they jealous
Why would people even dislike this video like, what is wrong with u homie, is everything good at home?
😹😹😹😹
I no right !🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🌈
Im not one of them but for example by looking at the video very objective it might be that the cat doesn't want to be alone in "new" areas and follows their owner blindlessly - even swimming in fear to stay with her secure family. Salt is not good for cats, they were never swimmers in saltwater in their evolution chain, and so such people thinking like this might dislike the video. Just one example of a point of view, doesn't mean they dont like cats, just means the video might not always be as it seems jsut because it has an overall "feelgood" vibe
for example try watchign the video without any sound - how can you really tell the kitten is happy and not scared ?
😂😂😂 I know what's what i was thinking!!
Absolutely love this video…
Make no mistake you may have ‘found’ her but she ‘chose’ you!!! You are one lucky dad💖💖💖💖💖💖
This fellow is a wonderful Cat Dad!💕
Kitten "Oh no you don't. I lost one mama, I'm not letting the water take you!"
😢
Some how ... dmn so sad
😔😔
That's what I was thinking. She doesn't love water. She loves daddy who keeps going in the water. The towel downs are a reward for "rescuing" him.
@@carlissasmith7107 God damn! So many cat psychologists.
This kitten imprinted on this dude hard if it’s willing to follow him into water!
Pretty Gurl Rock it’s also probably cause he saved her
She doesn't have a family of her own, but now she has you, the best cat dad ever, for accepting her into the family
This guy is awesome! And the kitten is brave. And I love that he's happy whatever age she is instead of just being a kitten. We need more people like this.
Sitting on his head 1st degree murdered me with cuteness. Lol

@@Shamanix01 All of the above.
Rescued my cat from the local shelter when she was a year old, or so. That was in 2001. She's still with me.
Shawn 😲
How old is she?! 😮
@@gabrielfrost9134 19
I had to have my 19 year old cat Lucky put down in October. It dang near killed me. But 19 years was not long enough, he was such a good boy!
Wow that's old for a cat!!
Our cat was the best, most docile, most clever of all cats for miles, and even had a huge swath of territory (quite opposed to her sociability with humans - never saw him fight other cats either even though just one of the neighbours below us had 9 cats (no she actually wasn't crazy she -was- is very very nice); we let him roam free in our suburbs however he wanted. And he'd always wait for our car to roll up at a stone higher up and come running when we'd almost parked, meowing, after we'd been away.
He died 16 years old, put down due to constipation problems, a common problem when cats get old.
It was truly one of the absolute saddest days of my 30 year old life when I dug his grave and carried him, I grew up with that guy and he was my friend.
So again, shelter cat and 19-20 years old, I'm very impressed and I _know_ you are a good person just from that, and good with animals :)
This kitten is so cute!
Omg, you are amazing. You are a beautiful and wonderful “cat Dad”. Particularly because you didn’t even choose to do so! The cat “chose you”, and you rose to the occasion!!! And with honors!!!! Bless you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️😻😻😻

Kay Kolesnyk same! So happy for them to have one another !
Exactly
You are such a wonderful man. She is a beautiful cat. You have a loving, caring and kind heart and brought the kitten into your heart and home. You and your cat will have a wonderful life together 😊
Any bond this close , like I have with my cat, is simply magical. Wish we could all love like this
There is nothing like the bond between a special cat and their human.
Delike el Ducce stop comparing cats with dogs - it makes no sense. Two completely different animals. It’s like you’re saying pizza is better then pasta 🤷🏼♂️ all personal preference
@Chrissy Luv Chrissy , if you really want
a furry friend go to your local shelter, find the animal that reach out to and tries to get
your attention. Then sit with them for an
hour and see if a bond forms. That is how
I found my Gina. She chose me at the shelter and we have been best friends
since. It has been seven years and one
of the best decisions I ever made.
why isn’t this video longer I COULD’VE WATCHED IT FOR AN HOUR 😭
Yeah...we need updates please 😘

I love the way this man cares for his cat. Thank you, sir, for being awesome AND a cat lover.. I am glad the two of you found each other.
I have never seen something cuter than this :x. This little kitten made my day. Am I the only one whose heart melted ? P.s I also thought that all cats hate water, mine certainly do 😂
You ain't the only one. ❤️
No. Not the only one.

Such a cute beach baby. How can people not like this?
Anna Witt there is always one. This time it’s 487
porque seguro son solo amante de los perros xD
👍👍👍
Yawn, under every video there's a question like this
Maybe someone just lost his cat and their mad or sad... Who knows, there's always a reason to something
All cats, unlike all dogs, can actually swim by their natural instinct. Something I didn't know till a few years back when a vet told me. It's just that a lot of them hate the water and it causes us to think they are scared of it, but it's just stubborn cats being cats. At the end of the day, if they fall in, they can all swim. When you find a kitten like this one who loves the water, it's just an amazing thing to see and experience. These two have a wonderful bond and I wish them happiness for many years to come.
Wow what a special little kitty. She’s Amazing!!!
Kitten see’s the beach and thinks
“OMG , look at the size of that litter box “🙀
😂😂😂 Good one!
"see's"?
F. H.
sea’s ?
I took my cat to the beach once... and the first thing she did was took a huge dump in the sand lol
I can't even swim in the kiddie pool and this cat is already swimming in the sea.
Same..
Not same
I would marry this man in a heartbeat!
This is beautiful ❤❤❤
It's always lovely when the cat chooses the owner. 🎉❤
She's adorable. I've never seen a cat swim . She's amazing. ❤
first time i saw a cat swim was when i went skinny dipping with my GF
Unfortunately the first time they showed the cat swimming was when they needed to be rescued by the fisherman on a boat
Don't you know anything about Van Cats?This type of cats all love swimming
All the cats can swim
Come over to India.... will make sure you swim with one.... though the outcome wont be rosy enough for you....
Goes on walks with a person, runs out into the water with him, plays catch with a frisbee.
That's a dog. You have a dog.
My cat (uh dog 😆) greets me when I come home, and rolls for a belly rub, follows me around the apartment, and has to be wherever I am.
She also knows many words (mostly associated with food), sits for her treats, and snuggles with me when I'm sick (all day with me during my migraines).
Yeah, "dogs" come in all varieties. ☺️😸🐈🐕🐩

Look at the position of her whiskers when she's in the water and on top of his head! She's totally happy and relaxed! WOW!
I would be too. She has him well trained 😉
Pfff this is ridiculously adorable, bless this man and his kitty
@Yusuf Elsayed get one. You won't regret it.
This is a scripted "Feel Good" episode created by trained crews using Crisis Actors. This script mimics many that can be found across the YT platform. The number of views and social comments are also scripted and might be an IT algorithm. Typically this type of programming is directed at young white females suggesting that cats and cool guys are preferable to building a family and having many children. The appeal is that a pet requires less and less effort while children require new and progressive thinking, something that competes with ease of life venues.
This is true love ....brought tears to my eyes
I"m very jealous of how peaceful his life truly is based on this video.. Amazing scenary, company, etc.
Him drying his cat: Stands at relaxed attention while being toweled off.
Me drying off my cat: Violent death roll and screaming like I'm exorcising a demon.
😂😂😂I bet there are lotsa shrieking and throttling involved
You provided a very accurate visual there! Wait, I'll grab the peroxide and band•aids! 🤣🤣🤣
I can relate. Although the screaming starts when the first drop of water fall on him.
I just can't stop laughing.... reading your comment
I washed my cat once, until she tore my arm off.

Your cat goes swimming in the ocean with you, and my cat hisses at a bottle of water 💦
😹😹
I had a Persian cat who would constantly wait by our jacuzzi tub so he could go for a swim. Sometimes if nobody wanted a bath that day, the huge tub would get filled just for him if he could get someone to do it.
I'm convinced he was a fish in a previous life or something because he wanted to be in the water constantly. I had never seen a cat swim before that guy. I had to watch the neighbor's give their cat a bath once & that one loathed water so I had thought cats just didn't like to swim or get wet. Some do.
So true😂😂😂
My 10-wk old kitten enjoys his bath in the bathroom sink.
