China: Chinese cat jumps into duckweed-covered water by mistake.

Tianjin, China - July 02, 2026 On July 3, 2026, in Tianjin, located in northern China, a video captured a cat sitting with its owner on a boat. The cat looked down at the water, which was covered with green duckweed. Because the surface looked like grass, the cat seemed to think it was safe to jump onto. It suddenly leaped from the boat and landed directly in the water. The cat quickly became wet and dirty, losing its earlier clean and pretty appearance. Chinese netizens joked that the calico cat had turned into a “beggar cat” after the jump. Many said the green surface was truly misleading because it looked like land at first glance.
