Can Cats Swim?

Updated: Nov 27, 2022



You may have heard numerous times that cats are afraid of the water and do not like taking a bath. While there is partial truth to this, it does not mean that your cat would not enjoy fun activities in the water such as swimming.


Most pet owners are hesitant to bring their cats with them when they are going swimming. This is because of the misunderstanding that cats do not like to swim. While some cats refuse to get drenched in water, this is not always the case.


Cats are smart and highly trainable animals. If you own a cat and you enjoy spending time in the water, you can certainly train your cat to love the water too. However, you must understand that it will take a lot of patience and time to get her used to swimming and other water activities.


Make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccines are up to date before outdoor excursions. Call your animal hospital Virginia Beach VA for information.
