In this CBS News RAW video -- The Cat swims!. As many have pointed out: Cats are not known to be fans of water. Cats are suppose to hate water. To avoid water. If a cat sees water coming one way, the cat goes the other way. Have you ever seen anybody try to give a cat a bath? Then you know what I mean. But the cat in the video, Prinny the Persian cat, doesn't seem to mind getting the paws wet.
I pointed this video out to a friend of mine, a lady, who owns a couple of cats. She watched it and asked: So what's the big deal? I said: A swimming cat! She said: Yeah? So? You saw that dog swimming, didn't you? Don't you think the cat saw him too? The cat isn't blind. Do you think a self-respecting feline would allow himself to be shown up by a dog?. If the dog swims, one should expect the cat to master the trick. So what's the big deal?
