While enjoying a summer vacation in Greece, a woman noticed a little kitten drowning in the water and didn't think twice before jumping in to save him.

In a viral TikTok video shared in October under the username @spetzy.the.cat, the poster, who is hanging out by a small pier, dressed in a sports outfit, can be seen diving into the water as soon as she notices the struggling little kitten, holding him in one arm while she takes him to safety.

"The story of how my mom saved me in Spetses, Greece. This is my brave my Coco! she spotted me drowning and took action!" reads layover text in the clip.

The tabby kitten, now known as Spetzy, seems to be in poor condition once the woman places him on the floor, but after drying him up, he immediately starts looking better.

"We weren't sure if I was going to make it … but I stayed strong and both our lives were changed forever," text in the clip continues. Newsweek reached out to @spetzy.the.cat for comment via TikTok comments. We could not verify the details of the case.

An article by Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates says that, while it may be different for kittens, most adult cats do have the ability to swim, but whether they like water or not usually depends on the experience they have had with it so far.

For example, cats who were exposed to water as young kittens with rushed and stressful baths may have reasons not to like getting wet as adults.

Some breeds may enjoy being in the water more than others. Maine coons, Bengals, Turkish vans, and Turkish angoras are all among the breeds that love water the most.

A Catster article, medically reviewed by Dr. Luqman Javed, says that it is good to expose felines to water when they are between 4 and 10 weeks old, when they're more open to new experiences, that are likely to stick as positive habits.

Teaching your adult cat to like water requires time and patience and lots of positive reinforcement, and it may not work at all, depending on their previous experiences with it.

In this case, you should avoid forcing your cat to do something they are uncomfortable with, and ask the help of a feline behaviorist if needed.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 3.3 million views and more than 237,200 likes on the platform.

One user, Michigan. Mom, commented: "What an inspiring story! Thank you for saving her. I'm following for updates."

Goldenpupluv posted: "The cat distribution system needs to chill! This one was super risky!!!! I'm soo glad you were there when you were."

Benzenden added: "Kindness without exception or expectation makes the world better! Thank you!"
