A scowling tabby cat on a mission to find dry land was pictured in Houston swimming in flood waters.

The orange kitty, who seems to glare at the camera with frisky side eyes, is totally submerged in water as it made its voyage to dry land.

Photographer Scott Olson who captured the cat said it swam through the flood water, jumped on a few cars, then swam off out of view. A few people tried to grab the soaked cat and rescue it but it got startled and swam away.

The fourth largest city in America was inundated with unprecedented rainfall from Tropical Storm Harvey.

People in the Houston area with an animal emergency are encouraged to call the Houston SPCA’s Animal Rescue Disaster Hotline at 713-861-3010.
