Well, you obviously misunderstood something, or you want readers to
misunderstand something.
When I talked about predators, I talked about terretrial predators,
I talked about big cats, where, if you go to deep water, they lose anchor
on solid ground, and hence they are unable to use their power.

You missed all this or are you just ignoring it? That's why I though
you were referring to sea predators.....

You can't stay down forever, sooner or later you have to come back
up.

Snow leopards live in the rocks. When you think you can outrun one in
the rocks, let me know.

I really don't know how much sense does it have to talk to you.
Firstly, it is obvious that tigar doesn't swim on first video. He is
running through water, which is shallow. This is the reason why shallow
water is suspicious for us (rocky coast shallow water could have too sharp
bottom for cat to run on it).
On the second video it is clear that cat has problems in changing
direction in water. The heavier cat is, the harder for it is to change
direction.
Regarding CLIMBING out of water, remember, WE are the climbers, not
cats (that much). It is primates who will climb better than cats. If there

Cats are very good climbers.

is vertical cliff around (or vertical shore of a river, as a matter of
fact), it is easy to climb out of water, for us. If cat is near rocky
coeast. You can hit a stone on it, cat will go away. Or if it doesn't go
away, hit another sharp stone on it.

What happens if you haven't any stones or run out?
