{$title} velvet gets splashed and loses her everloving mind

Velvetpaw sat near the edge of camp, keeping herself maybe a tail-length from the mostly-frozen streams. She'd survived this long, both in the new territory and the old shipyard, without having to... swim, or catch fish for that matter. There at least seemed to be more land-favoring prey here that she could catch more easily... She couldn't understand how the other cats around her just swam like it was nothing! Whether it was jealousy or disgust that she felt when she saw her clanmates swimming with ease... She didn't know, and didn't care to figure out.
What makes them different? Are they just born liking the water, or do they have to force themselves to do it? Maybe it was the curls in her fur that weighed her down whenever she was wet - she could barely even handle going out when it was raining. And of course, the muddy days after a rainstorm, and all the extra grooming that came with it... well, they were just as bad if not worse!
She was so lost in her thoughts that for a moment, she didn't notice the moving feline shape, probably around her size, in the water. She also failed to notice a large splash of frigid water that landed right onto her side as whichever one of her clanmates had been in the water suddenly jumped out onto the bank. She jumped up too, although she was frantically shaking herself off to get rid of the water that she could already feel the weight of on her fur. Horrible, horrible, horrible! I hate being wet!
