Cannot swim. Hates the ocean. Won't sink.
Buoy CAT waits for the next green wave like a menace to Poseidon.
Exhibit A, the rock
Badge Line
The strip lives to the right of the splash, clicking softly as if it were a pool thermometer. Numbers don't climb; they shrug and hover at 101% like a dare.
Field Tests
Unsupervised, as usual
Kiddie Pool
Reaction: bored blinkOutcome: refused to go under even when the plastic whale cannon fired.
Harbor Chop
Reaction: squint of contemptOutcome: bobbed between mini whitecaps, drifted back to the rock like it owned the marina.
Bathtub Disaster
Reaction: offended side-eyeOutcome: water everywhere, pride intact, towel destroyed.
The DUNK Button
Still Afloat
Tap it. The screen splashes, the status blips to Submerged, then pops right back. Poseidon remains irritated.
Operator Notes
Staging
Bright flat vector, clean background, one slick rock, one mid-splash curl frozen behind him. Same exact Buoy Cat in every panel. Motion stays lively: slow bob, badge tick, splash overlay on dunk.
Props
Orange arm floaties that squeak once. No towels provided.
Purchase
The buy control above stays muted until launch, because, like the cat, we're not going anywhere.
