I reckon that the fishing cat is semiaquatic sure enough. Esagurton (talk) 22:32, 6 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Source? It seems that it doesn't spend enough time in water to count to me, but these things are subjective, so if we have a reliable source that says it's commonly described as such, then fair enough. Anaxial (talk) 04:18, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

In none of the referenced sources is it considered semiaquatic; and not in any of the not-referenced sources. So for how many hours and days have you observed how many fishing cats, and how much of this time did they spend in water ?? BhagyaMani (talk) 05:46, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Does it make sense that the fishing cat is semiaquatic? Esagurton (talk) 05:57, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

No. BhagyaMani (talk) 07:25, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
