Although cats can swim, they live indoors most of the time and are timid. Many cats can't swim, but some cats are naturally not afraid of water and can swim freely in the water. Try to put the cat in the water to see if it can swim, but pay attention to the safety of the cat.

How far cats can swim depends on their species and experience in the water. Like humans, cats can swim farther through practice and training. When you start swimming with your cat, you can choose a shallow place or bring your cat a swimming ring. If the cat doesn't like swimming, don't force it. Forcing cats into the water is likely to cause stress to cats. No matter where you swim, please bathe your cat as soon as possible after swimming to avoid getting skin diseases.

Matters needing attention in raising cats

Cats are very tolerant animals and try not to show it when they are sick. When the cat really can't stand it, that is, when the owner finds that the cat is sick, it is already very serious. It is recommended to give the cat a regular physical examination to find the cat's disease as soon as possible.

Cats are very curious animals. Even if you stay at home and don't go out, you will be infected with various parasites. Besides, there are parasites spread by mosquitoes and flies, so even if cats never go out, there is no guarantee that there are no parasites. Therefore, it is necessary to expel insects regularly. Cats who often go out can repel insects more often, while cats who don't go out can repel insects less often.

If you don't want cats to reproduce, it is recommended to sterilize them as soon as possible, otherwise cats will be crazy if they are in estrus. Besides urinating and barking all day, they will try their best to escape and date other cats.
