Cats' swimming ability is not a discovery. Instinct makes them swim in order to avoid drowning. They are trying to get the hell out. The paddling is nothing more than walking motions. Worse, if they are consistently being thrown in, they are regularly ingesting the pool chemicals, namely chlorine, since they must lick themselves dry. Good that they are taught to avoid drowning in a home with a pool, but unless a cat is voluntarily jumping in, safe to say, it's only the human that's amused.

You should know that cats CAN swim but don't like to! That aside, if you find a cat that does like to swim and you notice it meticulously cleans itself after, please dry it off yourself. Pools have chlorine which sticks to the fur. It is not safe to ingest chlorine. For any living creature. Same reason you don't use regular hair dye on cats' fur or wash them with human shampoos. Thumbs up for cat safety

They don't like water, but that doesn't mean they can't swim

Wow...was this really on the news at some point?...Every animal can swim by instinct. Humans are the only ones who need to be taught, unless there only a couple months old.

There isn't any evidence or species specific fact to back up your feelings. Cats do not take swims for pleasure and chlorine is toxic.

I don't think a little Chlorine is gonna kill the cat. I mean I bet most swimmers ingest a higher chlorine to body weight ratio that those cats. Besides, it looks like once the cat lost its fear of water, it actually enjoys the swimming. Look at him go!
