Lament was quick to catch onto his line of thought and threw his body weight atop the cat's hind quarters. Effectively stopping it from wriggling up onto it hind paws. Being sufficient swimmers and good in the water, the jaguar twisted and writhed as it held it's breath, attempting to headbutt Hattori loose. It managed to land a good hit and the impact of it sent a throb of pain through Hattori's system, causing him to loosen his grip a touch before he gritted his teeth and shooed the pain away.
Doubling down, Hattori was barely able to angle his snout above the water as he drew in a long and well needed breath. He dipped back beneath the surface and forced the cat back down with an almighty shove, denying it the right of surfacing as it's eyes began to bulge in panic. It needed air and it needed it right now. It was gradual but the jaguar's thrashing slowed as it feebly paddled at the water and eventually, with one last bubbled wheeze it passed out. But he didn't let up, he raised his head above the water and delved down again, waiting for it to well and truly drown. Only when the muted racing of it's heart could be heard no more did he let go, the beast was dead. And good riddance.
