Although it’s a common understanding that cats don’t like water, it doesn’t mean that they can’t swim. Contrary to popular belief, some cats like the Ragdoll and other breeds actually enjoy being in or around water. If your cat is one of the water lovers then it’s a good idea to know whether or not he can swim. Don’t try to find out by placing him in the water, just take precautions to keep him safe and to prevent accidents. If you have a home with a pool or you and your cat are constantly around water, make sure you keep an eye on him. Keep a fence and gate around your pool. If your cat can get over the fence, try a screen or place a cover over your pool. Find out if there are local areas offering swimming lessons for cats (yes it does exist).
