From the salt water anyway. I'll be fine with small amounts of fresh water at least...actually, I kind of still need that, at least to drink..!!
But the sea is another story. ...to be fair I don't think anything that doesn't live in there can handle that much salt though.
[Ahem. Back on track now- apologies Firepaw, for the MASSIVE PHYLOGENIC TREE ATTACKING YOUR SKULL] Oh- a Jaguar is another 'big cat', like the lion and tiger! It's not as big as those two, but it's really muscular, enough that it normally bites through skulls to get its prey!
...Though...I don't know if 'descended' is quite right...you're more like cousins? Cats and 'Big Cats' come from the same common ancestor. So, you descended from something like a tiger...but where the big cats grew in places where it made more sense to be, well, 'big', it worked out better for cats like your clan's to be...well, small.
At least if what you think of as cats and tigers are the same as what I think of, I'm assuming 'two-legs' means 'human' here...
[There's a brief spin-out of thoughts. Humans? Other bipeds???
The point is, even if you're 'cousins', it won't mean you can't swim. I mean...there are plenty of domestic and wild cats that swim too; there's a reason cats are still known for enjoying fish! It's probably going to be a matter of getting used to just being wet, really.
CW: Jaguar hunting practice, also sCREAMS DW ATE MY TAG NOOOO
