can cats swim

Yes, cats can swim! Although many cats don’t particularly enjoy it and will avoid water whenever possible, some cats actually like swimming. Swimming can be a good form of exercise for cats, especially for those who are overweight or have certain medical conditions where low-impact exercise is beneficial. If you decide to introduce your cat to swimming, always ensure the experience is positive and safe by using shallow water and never forcing your cat into the water. It’s also important to thoroughly dry your cat off afterwards, as they generally prefer to stay dry.
