After all, they\u2019ve already taken over the internet! Let\u2019s face it, cats have their priorities straight. Who wouldn\u2019t want to sleep 75% of the day, only to wake up for a shower, a meal, or a snuggle?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All kidding aside, cats have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/why-does-my-cat-do-that-explaining-common-feline-behavior\/\">incredible adaptations <\/a>that have allowed them to survive in some challenging environments. Despite having evolved in the desert, cats swim remarkably well. But should they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Cats Hate Water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most things in a cat\u2019s life, if they aren\u2019t positively introduced to something at a relatively early age it may not ever be fully accepted. Most kittens receive a bath at some point in their young lives, but it may not necessarily be a calming, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. Instead, out of necessity, kittens are washed and dried quickly to ease any fear or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, their dislike doesn\u2019t preclude them from meeting their hydration needs. Many cats enjoy the sound and appearance of falling water and are drawn to faucets, sprinklers, fountains and more. Cats may not drink as much water as dogs, but they must always have access to cool, fresh drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big Cats Swim Too!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tigers are famous for their swimming prowess. It gets pretty hot in the jungle and they depend on water to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/beat-the-heat-keeping-your-pet-cool-indoors\/\">regulate their body temperature<\/a>. They\u2019re incredibly strong swimmers, with powerful webbed feet, and have been known to hunt in long stretches of water up to 9 miles long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other big cats swim, too, such as jaguars, lions, and panthers routinely hunt and relax in and around the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certain Breeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that <em>if they absolutely had to, cats can swim. But that doesn\u2019t mean that they want to.<\/em> However, certain breeds like Maine Coon, Turkish Van, Bengal, Manx and more domestic breeds really take to the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One possible explanation behind why some cats detest getting wet is that a sopping fur coat is hard to move around in and easier for predators to detect. In other words, getting wet makes them feel extra vulnerable (and who likes that?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming Safety for Cats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For cats that enjoy swimming, be sure that they only get into the water when supervised. They can still get trapped beneath pool covers and not be able to find their way out. Install an alarm that goes off if there is movement in the pool, or a fence that deters entry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in training your cat to swim, move forward slowly. Offer encouragement, patience, and gentle guidance. Never force them into the water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure that your cat knows exactly where the exit points are, and provide ramps for their confidence and ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always Amazing!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats and simply amazing! The fact that cats swim shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone familiar with their skills.
